TL;DR
Direct flights from Da Nang to Seoul (Jeju Air, Air Seoul) work well for visa runs, and routes via Hanoi, Hong Kong, or Bangkok are also common — border crossings are usually smooth.
Direct budget flights Da Nang-Seoul with Jeju Air (outbound) and Air Seoul (return) are available and affordable — good for a 7-10 day visa run, though experiences with these specific airlines for this purpose are still limited.
When entering Da Nang via Hanoi, you need to fill out an electronic arrival card (similar to Thailand's arrival card system) — check the current form on the immigration website before departure.
A visa run route Vietnam-Korea via Hong Kong and back to Vietnam went smoothly with no border issues or extra questioning.
For power of attorney or visa processing requiring embassy visits, you need to fly to Hanoi — this can't be done locally in Da Nang, only through the embassy in the capital.
Successful multi-city route experience: Hanoi-Nha Trang-Seoul-Bangkok-Da Nang with zero border questions at any point along the way.
