How to choose the correct exit

  1. Copy the destination name in Korean.
  2. Search the exact place in NAVER Map.
  3. Check the recommended exit and walking direction.
  4. With luggage, locate an elevator entrance.
  5. Save a screenshot because underground GPS can drift.
Common mistake: COEX and Starfield Library are at Samseong Station, not Gangnam Station. K-Star Road is in the Apgujeong–Cheongdam area.

What is nearby?

  • Underground Shopping Center: fashion, accessories and cosmetics.
  • Gangnam-daero: large stores, cafés and restaurant streets.
  • Sinnonhyeon direction: more dining and nightlife.
  • Kukkiwon: uphill from the station; check the walk first.

Luggage and accessibility

  • Avoid weekday rush hours when possible.
  • Use elevators rather than escalators with a suitcase.
  • Elevator routes may require a different exit or detour.
  • A short taxi ride may be easier for a hotel far from an entrance.

Simple half-day route

  1. Browse the underground shopping center.
  2. Exit toward Gangnam-daero for a priority shop or café.
  3. Eat on a side street rather than waiting at the busiest chain.
  4. Continue toward Sinnonhyeon or return to Line 2.
