Can I use this English address as it is?

52 Hamtae 1-gil, Taebaek-si, Gangwon-do follows the government's romanisation of the road and district names, but this particular building has no entry in the Ministry of the Interior and Safety's English address database, so we assembled the line ourselves from the parts that do. It is in the right order for a shipping form. For a visa application or anything else that is checked against an official record, use the Korean address below as well.

Where does the postal code go?

Put 26036 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 "52 Hamtae 1-gil, Taebaek-si, Gangwon-do 26036" 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.

Does the whole of Hamtae 1-gil share this postal code?

Yes. Every building on Hamtae 1-gil uses 26036. The road sits inside a single delivery zone, so the building number does not change the code. That is not true of longer roads, where the code changes partway along.

What is the lot-number address for?

Hwangji-dong, 164-5 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, 52 Hamtae 1-gil, Taebaek-si, Gangwon-do", or "502-ho, 52 Hamtae 1-gil, Taebaek-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 Hwangji-dong?

These are facilities registered in the same legal district (Hwangji-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.
