250-22 Seonhwang-ro, Goa-eup, Gumi-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do

250-22 Seonhwang-ro, Goa-eup, Gumi-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do is a South Korean address with the postal code 39139. In Korean it is written 경상북도 구미시 고아읍 선황로 250-22. Its older lot-number form is 황산리 565, Goa-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. 250-22 Seonhwang-ro, Goa-eup, Gumi-si, Gyeongsangbuk-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 39139 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 "250-22 Seonhwang-ro, Goa-eup, Gumi-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do, 39139, South Korea".

Does the whole of Seonhwang-ro share this postal code?

Every building on the Goa-eup stretch of Seonhwang-ro uses 39139. But Seonhwang-ro continues past the neighbourhood (dong) boundary, and across Gumi-si it carries 3 different codes. Some buildings on the other stretches use a different one, so copy the code for your exact building number rather than for the road.

What is the lot-number address for?

황산리 565, Goa-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, 250-22 Seonhwang-ro, Goa-eup, Gumi-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do", or "502-ho, 250-22 Seonhwang-ro, Goa-eup, Gumi-si, Gyeongsangbuk-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 Goa-eup?

These are public facilities in the same legal district (Goa-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.
