| Lot-number (jibun) | 강원특별자치도 춘천시 효자동 548-15 |
Can I use this English address as it is?
Yes. 1 Myeongju-gil, Chuncheon-si, Gangwon-do is the official romanisation published by Korea's Ministry of the Interior and Safety, not a transliteration we generated. You can paste it into a shipping form at Amazon, iHerb or AliExpress, or into a visa application, without changing it. Korean addresses run from the smallest unit to the largest in Korean and the other way round in English, and this line is already in the English order.
Where does the postal code go?
Put 24336 in the ZIP or postal code field, and add South Korea as the country. Korean postal codes have been five digits since August 2015; if a form rejects a six-digit code you have an old one. For international mail the full line reads "1 Myeongju-gil, Chuncheon-si, Gangwon-do, 24336, South Korea".
Does the whole of Myeongju-gil share this postal code?
Within Chuncheon-si, yes. Every building on Myeongju-gil in Chuncheon-si uses 24336. A road with this name also runs through another district, and buildings there may use a different code, so check the district and the building number before you copy it.
What is the lot-number address for?
Hyoja-dong, 548-15 is the same place in the older jibun system, which numbered land parcels instead of buildings. Korea switched to road-name addresses in 2014, but property deeds, land registers and some older records still use the lot number. For post, delivery and official forms, use the road-name address above.
How do I add a floor or unit number?
Put the unit in front of the building address, because English addresses run from the smallest unit to the largest. The official form is "101-dong 1203-ho, 1 Myeongju-gil, Chuncheon-si, Gangwon-do", or "502-ho, 1 Myeongju-gil, Chuncheon-si, Gangwon-do" for a building without blocks. If a form has a separate second line, put "101-dong 1203-ho" there instead. Delivery works from the building address and the postal code, so the unit only needs to be readable to the courier at the door.
What is around Hyoja-dong?
These are public facilities in the same legal district (Hyoja-dong). They are grouped by district rather than measured by distance, so walking times will vary. Facility names are given in Korean because that is what they are registered under, and what a Korean map app expects: copy the name and paste it into Kakao Map or Naver Map to find the place.
