535-7 Hambaek-ro, Sindong-eup, Jeongseon-gun, Gangwon-do
535-7 Hambaek-ro, Sindong-eup, Jeongseon-gun, Gangwon-do is a South Korean address with the postal code 26140. In Korean it is written 강원특별자치도 정선군 신동읍 함백로 535-7. Its older lot-number form is 조동리 12-75, Sindong-eup. The village name is left in Korean because our copy of the ministry data does not include its romanised form.

Can I use this English address as it is?
Yes. 535-7 Hambaek-ro, Sindong-eup, Jeongseon-gun, 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 largest unit to the smallest 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 26140 in the ZIP or postal code field, and pick South Korea (or Korea, Republic of) in the country field. Korean postal codes have been five digits since August 2015; if a form rejects a six-digit code you have an old one. On an envelope, write "535-7 Hambaek-ro, Sindong-eup, Jeongseon-gun, Gangwon-do 26140" and put REPUBLIC OF KOREA alone on the last line in capitals, as the Universal Postal Union rules and Korea Post (which writes "Rep. of KOREA") ask.
Why does Hambaek-ro have more than one postal code?
This building's code is 26140, but Hambaek-ro as a whole is split across 4 of them, ranging from 26139 to 26142. Korean postal codes follow delivery zones rather than roads, so a long road crosses several. Always copy the code from the page for your exact building number, not from the road.
What is the lot-number address for?
조동리 12-75, Sindong-eup 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. The village name is shown in Korean because our copy of the ministry data does not include its romanised form; copy it as it is written.
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, 535-7 Hambaek-ro, Sindong-eup, Jeongseon-gun, Gangwon-do", or "502-ho, 535-7 Hambaek-ro, Sindong-eup, Jeongseon-gun, 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 Sindong-eup?
These are facilities registered in the same legal district (Sindong-eup). 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.
