259 Jungang-ro, Seonwon-myeon, Ganghwa-gun, Incheon
259 Jungang-ro, Seonwon-myeon, Ganghwa-gun, Incheon is a South Korean address with the postal code 23040. In Korean it is written 인천광역시 강화군 선원면 중앙로 259. Its older lot-number form is 창리 623-2, Seonwon-myeon. The lot name has no official romanisation, so it is left in Korean.

Can I use this English address as it is?
Yes. 259 Jungang-ro, Seonwon-myeon, Ganghwa-gun, Incheon 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 23040 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 "259 Jungang-ro, Seonwon-myeon, Ganghwa-gun, Incheon, 23040, South Korea".
Why does Jungang-ro have more than one postal code?
This building's code is 23040, but the Seonwon-myeon stretch of Jungang-ro alone is split across 3 of them (23040, 23041, 23044). Across the whole of Jungang-ro in Ganghwa-gun there are 8. 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?
창리 623-2, Seonwon-myeon 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 lot name is shown in Korean because villages at this level have no official romanised form; copy it as it is written.
How do I add a floor or unit number?
Write the building address first, then a comma, then the unit. "259 Jungang-ro, Seonwon-myeon, Ganghwa-gun, Incheon, Unit 502" or "259 Jungang-ro, Seonwon-myeon, Ganghwa-gun, Incheon, Bldg 101 Unit 1203" are both correct. Korea does not fold the unit into the street line, and delivery works from the building address plus the postal code, so the unit only needs to be readable to the courier at the door.
What is around Seonwon-myeon?
These are public facilities in the same legal district (Seonwon-myeon). 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.
