The team who finished second in the K-League last season will take on the Reds in a friendly at the World Cup Stadium in Seoul on 24 July, kick-off 12pm BST.
FC Seoul were also the opposition on United's last visit to Korea two years ago, when the visitors ran out 4-0 winners.
Although he went on tour in 2007, Ji-sung Park did not play in that game due to injury, and the winger is delighted that this year he'll get the chance to play for the Reds for the first time in his homeland, where he is afforded almost god-like status.
"It’s my second visit since I joined United," Park told ManUtd.kr. "For Korean Fans, TV is the only way to see my performances. But on the tour this summer, they can see me and I can see them. I’m looking forward to it."
Seoul is United's third stop on this summer's pre-season trip to the Far East. The games in Malaysia and China have already been confirmed and details of the Indonesia leg will be announced on Friday.
Red View subscribers will receive ticket news for the tour 48 hours in advance of the general public, and of course there will also be regular updates here on ManUtd.com.
Paul Kam, chairman of tour organisers ProEvents, said: “United have fond memories of the fantastic reception during the last visit in 2007.
"Since then, the club has developed a strong relationship with Korea and we are delighted by the club’s decision to bring the team to Seoul again."
