How to write a Korean address in English order
Korean addresses move from broad regions toward a precise delivery point, while English-form addresses generally expand from the specific location toward the country. Field roles and order matter more than literal translation.
The basic order
A common order is “unit details, building number and street, district/city, province, postcode, South Korea.” When a checkout form provides separate fields, split the same components according to those labels.
For example, 서울특별시 중구 세종대로 110 can be shown as “110 Sejong-daero, Jung-gu, Seoul 04524, South Korea.” Put unit details first in a single-line address or in Line 2.
Prefer the published romanization
Prefer the English spelling shown by an address service over a general translation. Suffixes such as -ro, -gil and -daero are part of Korean road names and normally should not be freely replaced with Road or Street.
Use a building’s official English name when it has one. Otherwise choose a spelling the recipient and building staff can recognize.
When a form uses different labels
Some sites require both City and State, while others offer only City. If there are fewer fields, combine components naturally instead of deleting them.
Even after autocomplete, check the source address, postcode and country. A billing address may also need to match the format held by the card issuer.
