One more question, Sir
'In Korea' shows the Guy is still in Korea whereas, 'to korea' shows the Guy has returned from Korea right? ? I am talking about a conversation between two friends who meet face to face after a long time not by phone.

One more question, Sir
'In Korea' shows the Guy is still in Korea It depends on the context. In your context, he is clearly not still in Korea, and the sentence means that he has been there for a 3-month period in the recent past.

One more question,
What about non continuous verbs such as be,want,love etc.
If I say," I have been sick for two days " it means I am still sick right? ?
And you mean to say it also shows you are no longer sick now. Like I have been sick for two days so I couldn't go to work but I am perfect now.
