188 Beotkkot-ro, Geumcheon-gu, Seoul

금정MTC

188 Beotkkot-ro, Geumcheon-gu, Seoul (금정MTC) is a South Korean address with the postal code 08526. In Korean it is written 서울특별시 금천구 벚꽃로 188. Its older lot-number form is Doksan-dong, 336-22.

Can I use this English address as it is?

Yes. 188 Beotkkot-ro, Geumcheon-gu, Seoul 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 08526 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 "188 Beotkkot-ro, Geumcheon-gu, Seoul, 08526, South Korea".

Why does Beotkkot-ro have more than one postal code?

This building's code is 08526, but the Doksan-dong stretch alone is split across 9 of them, ranging from 08526 to 08611. Across the whole of Beotkkot-ro in Geumcheon-gu there are 15. 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?

Doksan-dong, 336-22 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, 188 Beotkkot-ro, Geumcheon-gu, Seoul", or "502-ho, 188 Beotkkot-ro, Geumcheon-gu, Seoul" 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 Doksan-dong?

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