Jamsil is a wide area with shopping malls, theme parks, Seokchon Lake, and stadiums. Even if you get off at Jamsil Station, the connection inside the building and the ground exit are different, so you will have to walk a lot if you don't decide on your destination exactly.
Jamsil Station Tour: Lotte World/Seokchon Lake Exit Route
Jamsil Station is a large station divided into Lotte World Mall, Lotte World, and Seokchon Lake. If you are going to an indoor shopping mall, check the underground connection sign first, and if you are going to take a walk around the lake, check the ground exit direction first.
1. Lotte World and Lotte World Mall are in the area of exits 3 and 4.
Lotte World and Lotte World Mall are accessed from exits 3 and 4 of Jamsil Station and the underground passage. To avoid rain or heat, follow the Lotte World Mall signs inside the station.
- Lotte World·Lotte World Mall: Exit 3 or 4/Underground connection sign
- Moving indoors: Check mall signs instead of taking the exit first.
2. Seokchon Lake is divided into East Lake and West Lake.
The West Lake of Seokchon Lake is close to Lotte World, and the East Lake is near the eastern promenade. The nearest exit changes depending on which cafe or event venue you are at, so check the east and west sides of the lake on the map before departing.
- West Lake: Access from Lotte World Mall side exit
- Dongho: Select the east promenade direction according to the destination address.
Decide before departure
Choose your main destination and entry time among Lotte World, Seokchon Lake, and the baseball stadium. On days when there is a game or performance, return home time after the end must be scheduled as part of the schedule.
Subway routes vary depending on departure time, size of luggage, and travel speed of companions, even for the same destination. Enter your departure station and exact destination address into the map app, and compare routes with different numbers of transfers and walking sections instead of just looking at the recommended route.
How to read recommended routes
When you arrive at Jamsil Station, get off at Line 2 or Line 8 and check the official destination information and exit signs. On-site signage is especially important in large complex facilities as internal connections may change.
When looking at the sign at the station, check the line color and number first, and after arriving at the platform, be sure to check the next station and destination one more time. Even on the same route, if you take a train in the opposite direction, travel time increases significantly.
Points to save time in the field
When meeting with a group, don’t just say “Jamsil Station,” but also specify a specific exit, building floor, or entrance. If traveling with children or infants, check the location of the elevator and restroom first.
Especially at large transfer stations, it is quicker to stop briefly and check the signs and map app rather than just following the direction people are moving right after getting off. Instead of looking for directions in front of stairs or escalators, move out of the way and check.
In this case, change the path
The station can be very crowded immediately after a game or concert. Rather than leaving at the last minute, plan your return route, last train, and alternative transportation in advance.
If there are significant on-site variables such as construction, events, rain, or commute times, the usual shortest route may not be the most convenient route. If the last train is close or an appointment time is important, save alternative transfer stations and taxi pick-up locations in advance.
Pre-departure checklist
If you save the items below before departure, you will avoid having to search again in a hurry at the station.
- The exact entrance/reservation time of the facility
- Return route after the event ends
- Jamsil Station exit and internal connection information
- Specific meeting place with companions
Please give priority to official guidance on the day.
This article explains the criteria for choosing a route. Train operations, fares, last trains, exit construction, and elevator operations may change, so please check the real-time route on the map app, station electronic displays, and official guidance from the operating organization before actually boarding.
