Using the Korean Subway Felt Overwhelming for Exactly One Day
-
The first time I entered a Seoul subway station, I felt completely lost.
Colored lines everywhere.
Dozens of exits.
People moving quickly in every direction.I thought:
“There’s no way I’ll understand this system.”But surprisingly, by the second day, it started making sense.
T-Money cards.
Arrival sounds.
Numbered exits.
English signs.Everything was designed more clearly than I expected.
One thing that impressed me most was how quiet people were inside the trains.
Even during rush hour, many people simply looked at their phones quietly or rested with their eyes closed.
Late at night, I realized the subway wasn’t just transportation.
It felt like part of Seoul’s daily rhythm.
