What is it like to get lost in South Korea? It means that even though you follow Google Maps, it leads you into a narrow alley under construction, and you end up circling around the same intersection for half an hour. Don’t ask me how I know that…
Today’s article is specifically written for those sisters who are going to DAN-A Dermatology in Myeongdong for the first time. Due to the municipal construction projects currently underway in Myeongdong, several roads have been closed or rerouted, so the information on Google Maps may not be accurate. I have personally visited the area and compiled the latest route details and precautions here for your reference.

🗺️ The latest route for 2026: Exit 5 (recommended ⭐)
🚇 Step 1: Arrive at Myeongdong Station
Take the Seoul Metro Line 4 to Myeongdong Station and exit from Exit 5.
💡 Why choose Exit 5?
- The closest to DAN-A Dermatology Clinic (about 3 to 5 minutes on foot)
- Avoid the crowds on Myeongdong’s main street and the construction areas.
- There are clear signs along the way, so it’s not easy to get lost.
- ⚠️ Note for 2026: Roadwork is underway near Exit 6, so taking an alternative route will add an additional 10 minutes to your travel time!
🚶♀️ Step 2: Route after exiting the station
After exiting at exit number 5:
- Face the exit and turn right (head east).
- Walking about 100 meters along the main road, you will see a CU convenience store on the left side.
- After passing CU, turn left at the first small alley (there is a coffee shop at the entrance of the alley).
- Walking about 50 meters down the alley, you will find a small building in off-white on the right side – that’s it!
- On the first floor is the entrance, where there is a sign in English that reads “Danya Dermatology”.
📸 Memory technique using landmarks along the way: “Exit at Exit No. 5 → Turn right at CU → Pass by the coffee shop and turn into the alley → On the right side of the white building”
🔄 Alternative exit: Exit 6 (in case Exit 5 is closed)
If Exit 5 is temporarily closed (which occasionally happens), you can use Exit 6 instead.
- After exiting exit 6, walk straight for about 150 meters (passing by the side entrance of the Myeongdong Catholic Church).
- Turn left at the first traffic light and enter the side street.
- Turn right at the second alley.
- Walk straight for about 80 meters, and you will see the same small beige building on your left-hand side.
⚠️ This route is currently affected by municipal construction projects, and there are obstacles on some sections. Please be cautious when walking. Normal traffic is expected to resume after the completion of the works in the second half of 2026.
⚠️ Guide to Avoiding Pitfalls in the Construction Areas of Myeongdong in 2026
The municipal renovation project in Myeongdong, which began at the end of 2025, is expected to continue until the end of 2026. Here are the latest developments:
🚧 Currently affected areas
| road section | Status | Impact |
|---|---|---|
| Myeongdong Main Street (in front of Lotte Department Store) | The sidewalk has been narrowed down. | It’s too crowded; we need to move slowly. |
| Near Exit 6 of Myeongdong Station | Road excavation | Additional travel time: 10 min |
| The alley on the west side of the Myeongdong Church | Pipeline replacement | Closed during certain hours |
| Intersection of Myeongdong-ro and Nandaemun-ro | Traffic control | Vehicles are diverted to alternative routes. |
💡 Tips for Finding Your Way Out When Lost
- If you cannot find the exit at the Myeongdong station, ask the staff members at the subway station (they wear uniforms and usually understand basic English).
- Download Naver Map for your mobile phone – the Korean version of Google Maps, which is more accurate than Google Maps in South Korea.
- Please ask DAN-A Dermatology to send you a location link when making an appointment (you can share it via Kakao or Naver).
- If you really can’t find your way, just call the clinic; they can send someone to pick you up at the intersection (provided that you inform them of your arrival time in advance).

✨ One final reminder
Although Myeongdong is not very large, it can be quite easy to get lost during construction. Remember this mnemonic: “Exit No. 5 is the safest; turn whenever you see CU.” If you’re still unsure, the best thing to do is to add DAN-A Dermatology’s official LINE or Kakao account in advance and ask them to send you real-time location updates.
