Getting to Jamsil From Gimpo Airport
The short answer
From Gimpo Airport you can reach Jamsil Station, a 3-minute walk from Shinebom Clinic, by subway with a transfer or by taxi, and the trip typically takes roughly an hour to an hour and a half. Gimpo is closer to central Seoul than Incheon, so it is often the quicker airport for domestic and short regional flights.
Key facts
- Destination: Jamsil Station, exits 8 and 9

- Typical journey: roughly 1 to 1.5 hours, depending on traffic

Why choose Gimpo?
Gimpo Airport sits on the western side of Seoul, inside the city rather than out by the coast. Many short-haul flights from nearby Asian cities use it, so check which airport your flight lands at. If you arrive at Incheon instead, read the Incheon to Jamsil guide.
How does the subway route work?
Gimpo Airport has a connection to Seoul Metro. The general approach is to ride into the city and transfer to Line 2, which runs in a loop around central Seoul and stops at Jamsil. Because transfers involve stairs and walking, this suits light luggage best. Use a current transit app to see the best transfer on the day, since routes and station layouts can change.
When is a taxi easier?
A taxi avoids transfers and works well with heavy bags or when you are tired after a flight. The ride crosses much of the city, and the time depends on traffic, so rush hours can add a lot. Ask the driver or the app for an estimate, and check the current rules on fares and surcharges rather than relying on a number from a web page.

What should you plan for arrival day?
Give yourself a rest day before treatment if you can. Skin often feels dry after a flight, and the doctor will want to see it in its usual state. See skin care after a long flight and where to stay near Jamsil.
