Why You Need Luggage Storage in Myeongdong
You check out at 11, stop by Myeongdong, and your flight leaves at 9 PM. The suitcase is the problem.
Myeongdong's main street is shoulder-to-shoulder even on a weekday afternoon, so browsing cosmetics shops while towing a hard-shell case is close to impossible. Leave the big bag nearby and walk the street empty-handed instead.
Myeongdong Station Coin Locker Situation
Myeongdong Station (Line 4) does have coin lockers. The catch is that in peak season and on weekends an empty one is hard to find, and the boxes come in fixed sizes, so a large suitcase often will not go in at all.
The trap most people miss: once the subway stops running, you cannot get your bag back out.
