Luggage
Put the bag down. Enjoy the event.
A suitcase is dead weight at a festival, a match or a gig. Seoul gives you four good ways to be rid of it for the day: self-service lockers in the subway, staffed counters at six big stations, the storage counters at Incheon Airport, and booked storage in a shop near the venue. This page sets out how each one works and what it costs.
Four ways to store a bag
Seoul's storage landscape is built on the subway. The network runs its own lockers in hundreds of stations and staffed counters at six of the biggest ones, the airport has staffed storage counters of its own, and booked shop storage through Bounce fills the gaps near venues. The right choice depends on the bag: a daypack fits a locker, a big suitcase wants a counter, and a bag you will not see again until the flight wants the airport.
Subway lockers: T-Locker
T-Locker is the subway's self-service locker network: the Seoul Metropolitan Government lists 336 locations across 273 stations, 5,557 lockers in all. Lockers come in three sizes, small at 50 x 30 x 60 cm, medium at 50 x 45 x 60 cm and large at 50 x 90 x 60 cm, and you rent, pay and open them through the T-Locker app, which the city publishes in Korean. Storage and retrieval run from 5 AM to midnight, every day.
Prices are charged in blocks. The first four hours on a weekday cost ₩2,200 (about US$2) for a small locker, ₩3,300 for a medium and ₩4,400 (about US$3) for a large; weekends cost more, and each extra hour adds ₩500, ₩800 or ₩1,000 by size. Leave a bag past its paid time and it may be kept for up to a month before being donated or discarded, so a locker is a same-day tool, not a left-luggage office.
Staffed counters: T-Luggage
Where a locker will not do, T-Luggage is the staffed sister service: a person takes your bag, so oversize cases and odd shapes are fine. There are six counters, at Seoul Station (B1, near Exit 1), Hongik University, Jamsil, Myeong-dong, Gimpo International Airport Station and Jongno 3-ga, open year-round from 9 AM to 10 PM, and you can book storage or delivery in advance on its site, tluggage.co.kr. Storage is priced by the size of the bag rather than the door: the first four hours on a weekday run from ₩3,000 (about US$2) for a bag up to 20 inches to ₩9,000 for one over 27 inches, with ₩1,000 for each extra hour, and weekends cost more.
At Incheon Airport: Hanjin Express
The airport's own luggage counter operator is Hanjin Express, which runs storage at its counters in the terminals: hand over a heavy bag and pick it up when you fly. The airport warns that operating hours vary by terminal and location, so check the counter for your terminal before you rely on it, and the same counters handle the delivery service described on this site's send my luggage page.
Bounce: booked storage in shops across the city
Bounce is the app-based option: local shops and hotels take your bag behind the counter, you book and pay in advance through its app or website, and its Seoul page lists 245 storage spots across the city, near stations and venues alike, from ₩2,900 (about US$2) per bag per day. Bookings can be cancelled free of charge, Bounce puts no size or quantity limit on bags, and every booking carries $10,000 of protection for your belongings. It is the flexible choice when the event is nowhere near the subway counters above, or when the lockers are full.
