Looking for luggage storage at Hongdae Station? KPLANZ is located right at Exit 3 — before you even take the escalator up to the street. No walking around outside, no searching for an open locker, no queues. Just drop your bags and go enjoy Seoul.
This guide covers exactly where we are, what it costs, how it works, and why travelers with multiple bags or tight schedules choose us over kiosk lockers.

- Minimum charge: KRW 30,000
- Business hours: Mon–Fri, 10:00–17:00 (after-hours and weekends available by advance booking)

Where Exactly Is It?
KPLANZ is on basement level 1 of the Hongik Officetel building, which is directly connected to Hongik University Station Exit 3. When you come up from the platforms, you’ll see the escalator heading up to street level — we’re right there before the escalator.
This means you don’t need a map, and you don’t need to walk outside at all. Whether it’s pouring rain, snowing in January, or 35°C in August, you can drop your bags and return to the subway without ever stepping outdoors.
Connected to Three Major Lines
Hongik University Station is one of Seoul’s most important transit hubs. From our counter, you can reach:
- Line 2 (Green Line) — Direct to Gangnam, Myeongdong, Seoul Station, and most major districts
- AREX (Airport Railroad) — Direct to Incheon International Airport and Gimpo Airport
- Gyeongui-Jungang Line — To Yongsan, Paju, and the greater Seoul region
If you’re arriving at AREX from Incheon and want to drop your bags before sightseeing, or leaving on an evening flight and need to store luggage after hotel check-out, you can do the entire process without leaving the station.
Why Travelers Choose KPLANZ Over Kiosk Lockers
Hongdae has many self-service kiosk lockers, but they come with real trade-offs — especially for groups, families, or anyone with multiple bags. Here’s a quick comparison:
| Kiosk Lockers | KPLANZ | |
|---|---|---|
| Location | Scattered around the station, outdoor walking required | Right at Exit 3, indoors, no walking outside |
| Bad weather | You walk between buildings in the rain, snow, or heat | Stay inside the station the entire time |
| Reservation | Walk-in only, first-come first-served | Book online in advance, guaranteed space |
| Multiple bags | Separate locker, password, and payment per bag | All bags handled at once, single transaction |
| Size limits | Restricted to locker dimensions | No size limit — strollers, skis, oversized cases all accepted |
| Peak season | Often full, with lines outside the store | Your reserved space is waiting |
| If something goes wrong | You figure it out alone | Staff handle everything |
In short:
- No more walking block-to-block looking for an open locker
- No more setting up separate passwords for every bag
- No more dragging suitcases in bad weather
- One staff-handled drop-off, one pickup, one transaction
