SEARCHING FOR LATEST SOUTH KOREAN POSTAL CODES (ZIP CODES) IN 2023

FROM 1970-1988

South Korea’s first postal code was introduced on July 1, 1970. Individual codes were provided for each post office distribution area, using an nnn-nn numeric format (e.g., 120-01 represented Susaek-dong, Seodaemun-gu, Seoul). Unlike current postal coding provided by administrative districts, the 1970 system was implemented based upon a post office’s railroad line; this often led to inconsistencies in post codes relative to their administrative areas.

Large post offices used a three-digit postal code, and small offices a five-digit code

FROM 1988-2000

Postal codes became six digits long on February 1, 1988. They were grouped by administrative areas as reflected by district reorganization and highway transportation networks.

These codes utilized an nnn-nnn format; the first three digits represented, in order, the metropolitan administrative district (large city, metropolitan area, province, special autonomous area, etc.), the resident’s neighborhood or ward, and a specific city, county, or district.

The last three digits matched the code to the recipient. They were assigned based on a postman’s delivery route. These sub-codes were divided into statutory dongs and administrative dongs, followed by myeons, and then by buildings and/or mailboxes.

FROM 2000-2015

On May 1, 2000, postal codes were assigned to each delivery agent’s postal area to facilitate easier distribution. This system relied upon the codes assigned in 1988. New postal codes were subdivided to match each postman’s delivery area, taking into account the introduction of automated mail sorting equipment.

HOW TO FIND YOUR ZIP CODE IN KOREA

Getting your head around the Korean address system might be a pain in the neck. If you have been living in Korea for a few years, you might have noticed the change of the address system, which is now based on specific street names and building numbers in your neighborhood. Zip code is an important part of the Korean address system, and that’s why Expat Guide Korea prepared a guide on how to find your zip code in Korea.

KOREAN ZIP CODE

Zip codes or postal codes are specific identification numbers given to the specific neighborhood in which your place is located. Starting from 2015, 5-digit numbers are used as zip codes in Korea, replacing the old 6-digit zip codes.

The 5-digit district number assigned based on the geographic features (roads, rivers, railroads, etc.) and assigned to each State Basic District will replace the existing 6-digit postal code created based on the administrative units (Eup, Myeon and Dong) and the districts assigned to each postman.

SOUTH KOREAN ADDRESS SYSTEM

Did you know that South Korea’s address system is different from what most of countries in the world use? If you have seen a written address in South Korea, you’ll be confused at first because of the different format. So, before we learn about Korean Addresses, let us first discover the South Korean address system. Just a quick fact, in the East Asian System, the administrative divisions characterize a typical building located in South Korea. If the address is written in South Korean, the largest division comes first, followed by the lesser divisions, the building, and lastly, the recipient. If the recipient lives in a multi-story building, include the floor and apartment or suite number. It’s vital to note that in South Korea, the overall arrangement of addresses is the opposite of how addresses are usually written in Western Countries. If you are used to an address written from the smallest unit down to the province, then you have to know that Korean addresses work differently. The order is reversed instead of commencing with the home number and ending with the postal code. Take a look at the examples below. Old Korean Address System: land-focused; city, district, neighborhood, land lot number Example: 서울시 마포구 상수동 24-5번지 seoulsi mapogu sangsudong 24-5beonji – Seoul 24-5, Mapo-gu, Sangsu-dong New Korean address system: building-focused; city, district, street name, and number Example: 서울시 마포구 와우산로5안길 54-18 seoulsi mapogu wausanro5angil 54-18 – 54-18, Wausan-ro 5-an-gil, Mapo-gu, Seoul The change of Korean address from lot-based to street-based happened on the year 2014. In the new system, all streets will have names that end in 대로 (daero, big road,) 길 (gil, road) or 로 (ro, road.) Due to the change from the previous system, buildings were given new building numbers. This gained different reactions from the locals. But, this change made it easy for foreigners to travel around South Korea.

SENDING A POST CARD IN SOUTH KOREA

You might be thinking, who still rights a postcard in this digital age? Well, it turns out that postcards are still part of Korean culture, especially during holiday seasons. It is used to send greetings to your loved ones. Companies also use postcards to send to their investors, customers, and others. So, do you know what to put in each postcard’s address line? It’s pretty simple: 1. Start with the recipient’s name. (last name – first name – honorifics) 2. Write the province first. 3. Proceed with street name and street number. 4. Include the house number. 5. Add the postal code.

Seoul, South Korea

I’m surprised to see I haven’t been uploading more photos of my trip to Korea right before the pandemic... of course the recent months have been long hard.

This was Winter 2019 and I feel lucky but somber at the same time.

Sou player da Mapo-gu e venho achando uma pena a falta de interesse da tag na comunidade. Quem se baseia na baixa movimentação da timeline para não entrar deve esquecer que pra uma comunidade ter mais movimentação precisa ter mais players, então se vocês não dão uma chance não tem como ter. Só sei que a moderação entrega um bom trabalho, organização e eventos/plot drops legais e realistas, que realmente fazem parecer que moramos em Seul, não é algo fantasioso ou que foge do aspecto cultural. É a comunidade que, na minha opinião, mais se assemelha ao gênero slice of life.

Olá, anon!

Nós já recebemos asks com opiniões mistas sobre a comunidade, mas por elas não dá pra definir a raiz do desinteresse. Anda difícil definir qualquer coisa em relação ao comportamento da tag ultimamente, sendo bem honesta.

De qualquer forma, a gente vai deixar sua ask aqui como um convite aos players sem lar! Visitem a @mapogu-rp pra saber mais sobre o plot e, quem sabe, encontrar um cantinho pra se abrigar.
