Korean in South Korea


Numbers

The method of street numbering may take a little getting used to for those unfamiliar with the Korean system. A person's address might be, for example, 304 410 4. This sequence of numbers means that the person lives in apartment 304 of building 410 through the 4th door entrance. It is very important to enter the building through the correct entrance or one cannot access the correct apartment. In writing postal addresses the order goes from State, City, to Apartment number to Name of the receiver.
