> 韓国たのしみすぎって話！

How would you translate this? "Talk that Korea is too much fun!" ?

話 is the verb, why is it not conjugated?

Should I interpret って as indirect speech particle, or colloquial topic marker?

Why たのし instead of 楽しい?

みすぎ means "too much", should I view this as a noun?

question
meaning parsing
みすぎって in the phrase 韓国たのしみすぎって話
Correct, って is a semi-colloquial connector if you will. In Japanese って is used
in place of と nowadays in a colloquial way. と and って are used to refer/accent
the action that follows. For example, 勉強しろって言われた - I was told to study. The って
in this case refers to the 言われた - was told. Normally the professional way of
saying that would be 勉強しろと言われました but among friends or family people usually
revert to 勉強しろって言われた.

I don't know if that helps but here's hoping lol

After some research I am (sort of) confident that たのしみ = 楽しみ should be
translated with "looking forward to". Translating すぎ as "too (much)" we get

"too (much) looking forward to" as in "very much looking forward to"

All in all, I am picturing a situation where a group of people is waiting for
their flight to Korea and they're talking about how much they're excited for
the trip.

> Talk(ing) about so looking forward to (visiting) Korea!

* 楽しみ in this sentence means "is going to be fun", "can't wait", etc. 韓国が楽しみです means "I'm looking forward to (visiting) Korea".
  * すぎ literally means "too much", but in this context it's a bit slangy way of saying "soooo", "super", etc.
  * This って is a colloquial equivalent of という. I think you have gotten this right.
  * ～って話だ or ～という話だ in this context is an exclamatory expression used to emphasize your feeling. Semantically it's like "you know (what)". See: [Meaning of どんだけお人好しなんですかって話ですよね](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/21064/5010)

So the whole sentence just means "You know what, I'm soooo excited about
(visiting) Korea!"
