Transportation

Route A: Get to Hoam Faculty House from Incheon International airport (ICN)

  1. At the airport, take the BUS number “6017”. (It is often called “Limousine Bus 6017”.) If you are from Terminal 1, the bus stop number is “6”. If you are from Terminal 2, it is “27” at the transportation center. (Before taking the bus, buy the ticket at the booth located near the bus stop. As of Sept 2018, it is KRW 15,000.)
  2. Stay in the bus until it reaches the final destination, which is Hoam Faculty House.
    (It may take around 75 min.)
  3. The lobby is located in the main building. It’s so easy.

Route B: Get to the main gate of SNU from Gimpo International airport (GMP)

Be careful not to confuse the direction. Do not take the bus towards Incheon Airport. You should take towards Seoul National University, which is the final destination.

Tips for Wifi/3G/LTE connections

If you don’t subscribe data roaming from your country and if you want to go around the city of the country, it might be a good idea to rent a device called “EGG” at the airport (ICN or KMP). This is a small portable device which convert LTE/3G to wifi so that your smart phone/labtop can use as if you are under the coverage of wifi AP. Rental fee and data cost is not expensive. We have two major careers; SK Telecomm (T world), or KT (Olleh). Please follow the link below and visit the booth at the airport.

If you will just stay around the campus, you may not need it since you may use “eduroam” and since the Hoam Faculty House and our center provide free wifi of course.

Learn how to read Korean characters in 90 minutes?

Yes, it is possible. Of course, you won’t understand Korean language, but you can read the Korean characters which may be helpful enough for hanging around Seoul reading signs.

An example site for learning is https://www.koreanclass101.com/learn-hangul/ or https://www.90daykorean.com/how-to-learn-the-korean-alphabet/.

(Added on 2023) There is another site which insists the time is not 90 min but 15 min: https://www.ryanestrada.com/learntoreadkoreanin15minutes/.

And here’s a Youtube clip (which now says it takes 30 min :-): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=85qJXvyFrIc
