Part 1:
Indeed, Shenzhen airport does not issue visa on arrival, so this is not an option. However, I would suggest you to rely on 144 hour visa free transit in order to avoid the entire hassle with the visa issuing. You did not mention the country or territory where you will head after Shenzhen, but if you plan to some third country or territory different than South Korea, you can use 144 hour visa free transit that is even better than 5 days visa on arrival because you can travel within the entire Guangdong province and not only within Shenzhen.
If you have a return ticket, so returning back to South Korea after Shenzhen, you can do one thing that will make your life easier.
You can split your planned stay in Shenzhen in two halves or in the way you like. So, after a two or three days, you can take a direct train from Shenzhen to West Kowloon train station in Hong Kong. You should carefully plan this option because to be eligible for 144 hour visa free transit, you will have to buy your train ticket in advance, even before you depart from South Korea. You should print out a confirmation of that ticket and hold it with you as a proof of your transit intention. Also, you will really have to take exactly that train you have bought your ticket for.
