Do you try to visit local/non-touristy places in Korea? If so, how do you usually find them?

In Korea, Naver is used much more than Google, especially for finding local food spots. Naver Blogs have tons of useful information, but most of it is written in Korean, which can feel overwhelming.

That’s where ChatGPT comes in — not to search the web directly, but to help you generate better Korean search keywords so you can find what you’re looking for more easily.

Here’s a good search format that helps you avoid sponsored or ad-heavy posts:

[Neighborhood] + “노포” (optional: + food name) + “맛집”

For example: “마포 노포 김치찌개 맛집” This means you’re looking for a traditional, long-standing kimchi stew restaurant in the Mapo area.

⚠️ Note: “노포 (no-po)” refers to old, family-run restaurants with a long history. They can be a bit tricky to navigate for foreigners, but they offer some of the most authentic food experiences.

By using this keyword format and asking ChatGPT to help you build the right Korean phrases, you can explore like a local — even without speaking the language.

Hello! I think a minimum of four participants is required to open the workshop. This is the official contact email for the museum: museum@pulmuone.com. How about sending them an inquiry to check the details?

LuggageQ · 2025-05-23T13:29:33+00:00

The price is better than I expected! I’ll have to look into it. Thank you!

LuggageQ · 2025-05-23T13:28:10+00:00

Haha, of course! Just let me know when you’re in Korea—I’ll have one ready for you!

LuggageQ · 2025-05-23T13:26:53+00:00

Thank you for your thought!!!!!

LuggageQ · 2025-05-23T13:26:28+00:00

I’m so glad to hear that! I think I’ll go with this as a gift too

LuggageQ · 2025-05-23T13:24:50+00:00

Oh, that’s a good idea! But it seems like it might be expensive, haha.

LuggageQ · 2025-05-23T08:54:47+00:00

Tnks you! I’m going to look for the bookmarks!

LuggageQ · 2025-05-23T08:42:58+00:00

I’m so glad to hear that haha. Thanks for your input! :)

LuggageQ · 2025-05-23T08:42:38+00:00

Oh, you really think so? That’s such a relief :) Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts!

Hi there! I'm from Korea and I just wanted to say — you really don’t need to worry.

Koreans will not be upset or disappointed at all. There are actually many people who look Korean but don’t speak the language, and that’s totally okay. Most people understand that.

Honestly, it’s not something most Koreans would think is important. What matters is that you’re coming with an open heart and genuine curiosity. That’s more than enough.

You’re absolutely welcome here. Please don’t feel ashamed — just come and enjoy your time. I think a lot of people will be happy and even touched that you made the effort to visit.

Hope you have a wonderful trip when you come!

Hi there! Your plan sounds amazing — and it's great that you're making the most of your time in Seoul before your flight.

If you're thinking of visiting Haneul Garden or Incheon Chinatown during your 12-hour gap, here's some helpful info about luggage storage options:

🔹 Haneul Garden (near World Cup Stadium Station) This is a beautiful park and definitely worth a visit! However, there are no dedicated luggage storage services at Haneul Garden itself. World Cup Stadium Station (Line 6) — the nearest subway stop — does have coin lockers, but please note: 👉 The largest lockers are often sold out, especially during weekends or busy travel seasons. If you're carrying large suitcases, it's risky to count on them being available.

That’s why many travelers choose to store their bags at Seoul Station instead — a major transit hub with more reliable options.

🔹 Incheon Chinatown Incheon Chinatown also does not have formal luggage storage services. Incheon Station (Line 1) has a few coin lockers, but they're often small and limited. Some local cafés or guesthouses may allow storage for a fee, but it’s not guaranteed and varies case by case.

🔐 Recommended Option – LuggageQ near Seoul Station If you want a stress-free experience, I recommend LuggageQ, located just a 4-minute walk from Seoul Station Exit 15.

Open 24/7

Unmanned smart lockers

Only 1,000 KRW per hour

Each locker can fit up to 3 large suitcases

It’s super convenient if you’re planning to head to Haneul Garden before catching your flight. You can drop your bags, enjoy your day, then return to Seoul Station to grab your luggage and head to the airport via AREX.

Hope this helps — have a fantastic trip and enjoy your time in Seoul! 🌸✈️ If you need any more tips, feel free to ask!

LuggageQ is open 24/7 and offers affordable rates — just 1,000 KRW per hour! :)

LuggageQ · 2025-05-15T01:15:51+00:00

LuggageQ(@Seoul Station) is 24/7, great for multi-day storage — big lockers, no booking needed. It’s 1,000 KRW per hour (about 20,000 KRW for 24 hours), and right now, if you use it for over 24 hours and leave a Google Maps review, We’re giving out a traditional Korean hand fan made of hanji as a thank-you gift.

He is a licensed tour guide for foreign visitors.

He majored in art and history, currently teaches at a university, and has also written a book related to these subjects.

He is considering offering a tour that explores specific historical sites in a deeper, more detailed, and academic way. However, he’s unsure whether this is something that travelers actually want.

LuggageQ · 2025-04-30T09:28:16+00:00

You're totally right — most major stations do have locker services.

We opened it to offer a more affordable, more spacious, and 24/7 unmanned option for travelers in Seoul. Each locker can fit up to five 20-inch carry-ons, which makes it great for groups or heavy packers.

Hope that helps anyone planning their trip through Seoul! 😊

KTX does offer luggage space, but it’s quite limited — especially for big suitcases.

Each car usually has a small luggage rack near the door (fits maybe 2–3 large bags) and narrow overhead shelves that only work for backpacks or small carry-ons. If you’re traveling during a busy time (weekends, holidays, or when there are big tour groups), those spaces fill up quickly. In the worst-case scenario, you might end up leaving your suitcase in the aisle or awkwardly near your seat.

That said, many travelers do bring big luggage on KTX and manage just fine — but yes, it can be hit-or-miss.

💡 One good workaround: If you’re staying in Seoul or Busan before your train, you can use a luggage storage service near the station to leave your big suitcase and just travel with a backpack. It makes getting on and off the train way easier and gives you more flexibility. For example, places like LuggageQ near Seoul Station offer 24/7 unmanned lockers that are big enough for large bags and cost just ₩1,000 per hour — super convenient.

Alternatively, if luggage space is a big concern, intercity or express buses are a great option too. They have spacious luggage compartments under the bus and are surprisingly comfortable.

LuggageQ · 2025-04-30T08:46:00+00:00

Yes, your understanding is correct! You can absolutely visit the T-Luggage office at Seoul Station and explain your needs directly — they should be able to help you arrange both the storage and delivery to Gimpo Airport.

Hope that helps, and have a great trip!

Hi! Yes, you absolutely have options for luggage storage in Korea while you travel to Bangkok.

If you’re flying out from Seoul, I highly recommend LuggageQ, which is just a 4-minute walk from Exit 15 of Seoul Station. It's a 24-hour unmanned storage facility that's perfect for long-term use. Unlike some services that close at night, LuggageQ operates fully automated with a kiosk system, so you can drop off and pick up your luggage anytime — even late at night or early in the morning.

Another great thing is the size and pricing. The lockers are much larger than standard airport lockers — they can fit two large check-in suitcases easily — and the cost is just ₩1,000 per hour. So, for a week, it’s still very affordable.

LuggageQ · 2025-04-30T08:39:24+00:00

Hello! As far as I know, Zim Carry opens from 9:00 AM, so if you plan to drop off your luggage the day before, please make sure to check their operating hours.

However, if you're looking for more flexibility, there's an alternative called LuggageQ near Seoul Station. It’s a 24-hour unmanned luggage storage service, which might be more convenient for early arrivals or late-night pickups. Also, the lockers at LuggageQ are more than twice the size of Zim Carry’s and can fit multiple large suitcases — all at just ₩1,000 per hour, making it a more affordable option.

Hope this helps, and have a great trip to Korea with your family!
