I booked the wrong KTX station

Checked 2026-08-03 · Official sources

01

What happened

The station printed on your ticket does not match the station you need. Similar city names and multiple Seoul-area stations can cause this mistake.

02

What to do now

  1. Check both the departure and arrival station on the ticket.
  2. Before departure, use the official KORAIL website or app to return the ticket, or ask at a station ticket office.
  3. Book the correct journey after checking the station name and train number.
  4. If the train has already departed, go to a KORAIL station ticket office immediately.

What it may cost

A refund penalty may apply depending on when you return the original ticket and its conditions. The replacement journey is priced separately.

04

How to avoid it next time

  • Match the English and Korean station names before payment.
  • Check whether your train leaves from Seoul, Yongsan, Cheongnyangni or another station.
  • Open the ticket once more on the day before travel.
