How to use Hongik University Station: airport arrival, Yeonnam by day, Hongdae by night
Use Hongik University Station by time of day: start around Exit 3 for Gyeongui Line Forest Park and Yeonnam in the afternoon, then move toward Exit 9 and the Red Road area after dinner. If you have just arrived on the Airport Railroad, store large luggage first and allow at least five hours. Always specify both the rail line and exit when meeting someone.

Recheck last trains, transfers, works and lift availability.
Check the origin, interchange and destination separately. Maintenance can change the route, so ask station staff for day-of help.

The map links named places only. Add your chosen restaurant, performance or rest stop separately. Recheck last trains, works and facility outages with the official operator.
FIRST-VISIT DECISION
What should I do immediately after arriving at Hongik University?
If you arrived on the airport railway, solve luggage storage or hotel transfer before sightseeing. Divide the area by time—Gyeongui Line Forest Park and Yeonnam by day, central Hongdae in the evening—to avoid backtracking.
