It will be cold, cold COLD , even in Busan. You might consult weatherspark.com for some climate data.
I'm surprised Daegu has made your short list of destinations. It is an interesting place, but the traditional medicine markets have been "modernized." If that's your reason for going, note that there are markets in Seoul that are more likely to show traditional medicines in an old-style way.
I went in May and so can't comment about going in January or February.. Nevertheless you might find some useful information in my trip report:

P.S. You might click the orange triangle next to your post and use the resulting screen to ask the moderators to remove the "trip report" designation. That designation is for descriptions of travels AFTER they occur.
