6 7beonchulguseon, Songpa-gu, Seoul

6 7beonchulguseon, Songpa-gu, Seoul is a South Korean address with the postal code 05510. In Korean it is written 서울특별시 송파구 잠실역7번출구선 6.

Can I use this English address as it is?

6 7beonchulguseon, Songpa-gu, Seoul 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 05510 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 "6 7beonchulguseon, Songpa-gu, Seoul 05510" 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 7beonchulguseon share this postal code?

Yes. Every building on 7beonchulguseon uses 05510. 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.

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, 6 7beonchulguseon, Songpa-gu, Seoul", or "502-ho, 6 7beonchulguseon, Songpa-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 Sincheon-dong?

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