It's a sea hare, Aplysia, but I don't know the species.

SCUBA Monkey is right it is a sea hare. You get these all round the coast in South Korea, they follow the temperature around so they are often seen on the East coast and over the winter they appear down in the south too. As temps have risen here again they have left so we don't get them anymore.

I have seen them range from an inch to a good 20 inches in length

The Sea Slug Forum is probably the best reference.
