When going to South Korea for cosmetic surgery, the biggest concerns are usually: where is the clinic located? How can I get there? Will I get lost?
Although the name of Cheongdam OK Dermatology contains “Cheongdam”, its location is actually extremely convenient: just exit Exit 8 of Cheongdam Station on Line 7 of the subway and it takes only 1 minute to walk from there; you don’t need to wander through the narrow streets of Gangnam at all. Moreover, after completing any anti-aging treatment, it’s only a 3-minute walk to Cheongdam-dong Premium Street and Lotte Department Store, where you can go shopping, drink coffee, and enjoy delicious food all in one place. This article provides detailed information on subway routes, walking directions, parking tips, and how to get there from the airport, Myeongdong, or Hongdae. Just save this article before you go, and you’ll be all set.
Address of Cheongdam OKAY Dermatology: 715 Samsung-ro, Gangnam-gu, Jidong Building. Just look for this beige-colored building.
📍
The correct address of Cheongdam OKAY Dermatology is 4th and 5th floors of the Jaedong Building, located at 715 Samsung-ro, Gangnam-gu, Seoul. The entire building features beige exterior walls, making it very easy to identify. On the first floor, there is a Korean-style clothing store called “Maison de Coree,” with a beige canopy at the entrance – this is the key identifier to confirm that you have found the right building. Looking up, you will see the red sign “OKAY DERMATOLOGY” prominently displayed on the exterior wall of the building, visible from a distance.
The clinic is divided into two floors: The 4th floor houses the reception area, skin examination areas, and basic treatment rooms. You can simply take the elevator to the 4th floor and register there. The 5th floor contains the director’s office and laser treatment rooms; procedures that require equipment such as Thermage or HIFU are carried out here.
Many people get confused the first time they visit, because although it’s called “Cheongdam OKAY”, its actual location is closer to the border between Gangnam District and Cheongdam-dong, so it doesn’t belong to the most popular luxury shopping area in Cheongdam-dong. However, this is actually an advantage – it’s extremely close to the subway station, and you won’t be stuck in the crowded shopping districts, making it very convenient to access.
How to take the subway? Exit 8 of Cheongdam Station on Line 7, and it’s only a 1-minute walk from there.
🧳
This is the greatest transportation advantage of Cheongdam OKAY Dermatology: Exit 8 of Cheongdam Station on Line 7 of the subway. It only takes 1 minute to walk from the exit without having to cross any roads or search for directions, making it truly convenient as if you “arrive right after exiting the station”.
The route after exiting from exit 8 is very simple: once you leave the station, you don’t need to go up to the ground level; the exit directly leads to an underground passage. Walk straight for about 50 meters, and after seeing the sign for “Lotte Department Store”, turn right. Then head up to the ground level, and the Jidong Building will be on your left. If you accidentally exit from exit 7, it’s still okay. It takes about 3 minutes to walk there; you will pass by a “Twosome Place” coffee shop along the way. Just turn left after seeing it, and you’ll arrive at your destination.
If you are starting from other popular areas in Seoul, here are some guidelines for taking the subway to get here:
Starting from Myeongdong: Take Line 4 at Myeongdong Station and head in the direction of “Jungwu-ro”. Once you reach “Jungwu-ro Station”, transfer to Line 3 and then continue to “Express Bus Terminal” where you can switch to Line 7. The entire journey takes approximately 30-35 minutes. Alternatively, you can also take Line 2 at Myeongdong Station and get off at “Kondae Entrance Station” before transferring to Line 7, which also takes around 35 minutes.
Starting from Hongdae: Take Line 2 at the Hongdae Entrance Station and transfer to Line 7 towards “Cheongdam”. The entire journey takes approximately 35–40 minutes.
Starting from Dongdaemun: Take Line 2 at Dongdaemun Historical and Cultural Park Station and transfer to Line 7 at “Kondae Entrance Station”. The journey takes approximately 25 minutes, making it a very convenient route.
Starting from Gangnam Station: Take Line 7 directly in the direction of “Cheongdam”, and it will take about 10 minutes to arrive. It’s really very close.
No need to worry about parking either: You can use the underground parking lot of the Zaidong Building or the Lotte Department Store as alternatives. All the parking tips are available for everyone to see.
🏥
Many people assume that parking in the Gangnam area must be expensive and difficult to find, but in fact, there are three parking options available near Cheongdam OKAY Dermatology, and the fees are surprisingly reasonable. Here is a practical parking guide based on my personal observations:
🥇 Top choice: Zaidong Building underground parking lot (Levels B1-B2)
Right below the clinic, you can park your car and take the elevator directly to the 4th-floor Dermatology department, without having to go outside at all. Turn into “Jaedong 11-gil” from Samgeung-ro, and after seeing the sign for “Jaedong Building Parking Lot”, turn right to enter. The first 30 minutes are free, and after that, the parking fee is 8,000 Korean won per hour (about $180 USD), with a daily limit of 50,000 Korean won (about $1,100 USD). If you are only having a quick treatment (such as a basic hyaluronic acid injection, which takes about 1–1.5 hours), the parking fee is around 8,000–16,000 Korean won, which is quite reasonable.
🥈 Alternative option: Lotus Department Store Cheongdam Branch parking lot
It’s only about a 3-minute walk from the clinic; you can exit from the back door of the department store and turn left to get there. The fee is 6,000 Korean won per hour (approximately $135), which is slightly cheaper than parking in the building’s garage. The biggest advantage is that if you spend at least 50,000 Korean won (about $1,100) at the department store, you can bring your parking ticket to the service desk to get it stamped and use it to offset 1 hour of parking fees. Additionally, Lotte Department Store’s parking lot is open 24 hours a day, and it has more parking spaces than the building’s garage, making it perfect for those who are not bothered by a 3-minute walk.
🥉 Do not use roadside parking meters (for reference only, not recommended).
On both sides of EY 11th Street, there are a limited number of roadside parking spaces available for 2,000 Korean won every 15 minutes, and payments can be made directly using a T-money card. However, the number of parking spaces is extremely limited – you’ll only have a chance to get one if you arrive before 10 a.m., as the spaces are usually full in the afternoon. Moreover, if you park for too long, you’ll receive a fine of 50,000 Korean won (approximately $1,100), which is actually more expensive than parking in a regular garage. It is highly recommended to park in the basement of the building or at Lotte Department Store instead of taking the risk of parking on the roadside.
From Incheon Airport to Cheongdam OKAY Dermatology: A comparison of three transportation methods – airport bus, AREX, and taxi
🧳
After getting off the plane, go straight to the Dermatology department? Each of these three methods has its own advantages and disadvantages. Here is a detailed comparison:
🚌 Option 1: Airport shuttle bus (recommended for those with heavy luggage who prefer not to transfer buses)
At the bus stop outside the arrival hall on the first floor of Incheon Airport, take the “6006” airport bus and get off at “Cheongdam Station”. The fare is approximately 15,000 Korean won (about $340), and the journey takes around 70–90 minutes, depending on traffic conditions. After getting off the bus, it takes only about 2 minutes to walk to the clinic. The advantage is that you don’t have to carry your luggage when taking the subway; you can just sit straight to the station. However, the downside is that traffic may be heavy in Gangnam during peak hours.
🚇 Method 2: AREX Airport Express + Subway (recommended for travelers with light luggage)
Take the AREX Airport Express from Incheon Airport to “Seoulcheil Station”, then transfer to Line 1 to “Jungno 3-gil Station”, continue onto Line 3 to “Express Bus Terminal”, and finally transfer to Line 7 to “Cheongdam Station”. The entire journey takes approximately 80-90 minutes, and the fare is around 10,000 Korean won (about NT$225). The advantages are its low cost and immunity to traffic congestion; however, the downside is that the need to transfer three times may be a bit confusing for first-time users.
🚕 Option 3: Taxi (recommended for groups of 2-3 people or those in a hurry)
You can take a regular taxi directly from Incheon Airport to Cheongdam OK Dermatology. The journey takes approximately 60–80 minutes, and the fare is around 70,000–90,000 Korean won (equivalent to approximately $1,600–$2,000). If 2–3 people share the cost, it comes down to about $500–$1,000 per person, which is actually not too expensive. It is recommended to use the Kakao T app for booking a taxi, as it offers a Chinese-language interface, so you don’t have to worry about communicating the address with the driver.

One of the greatest hidden advantages of Cheongdam OKAY Dermatology is its ideal location, which is extremely convenient for tourists. After your treatment, you don’t have to rush back to your hotel to rest; just a few minutes’ walk will take you to one of Seoul’s most popular areas for shopping and exploring. Below is a “half-day tour route in Gangnam” recommended for after your medical beauty treatment, all of which can be reached on foot from the clinic:
🛍️ First stop: Lotte Department Store Cheongdam Branch (just a 3-minute walk away)
Just turn left after exiting the clinic and walk along Samseong-ro for 3 minutes. The Cheongdam store offers a wide range of premium brands, with dedicated counters for Hermes, Chanel, Dior, etc. Moreover, the crowd there is much smaller than that in Myeongdong’s Lotte department stores, making it much more comfortable to shop around. In the cosmetics section, you can find dedicated counters for top Korean brands such as Shu Uemura and The History of Whoo.
☕ Second stop: Cheongdam Dong Premium Street (5 minutes on foot)
Cheongdam-dong Main Street is one of Seoul’s most upscale shopping areas, lined with flagship stores of various renowned brands. The architecture of the Dior flagship store itself has become a popular spot for photos, with its white petal-inspired design creating a truly dreamy atmosphere. In the vicinity, there are also many designer boutiques such as Boon the Shop and 10 Corso Como, perfect for those who enjoy lesser-known brands.
🍽️ Stop 3: The Gourmet District Around Shimashan Park (just a 10-minute walk away)
Do you need to replenish your energy after undergoing cosmetic procedures? Head in the direction of Island Mountain Park, and you’ll find numerous high-quality Korean restaurants and cafes along the way. I recommend “Kitchen Mama” for authentic Korean home-style dishes – their部队锅 and kimchi pot are especially delicious, with the price averaging around 12,000 Korean won (about NT$270 per person). Alternatively, you can visit the Gentle Monster coffee shop located on the popular “GAROSU-GIL” street; this is a collaboration between a glasses brand and a coffee shop, and its interior design is absolutely stunning.
⚠️ Precautions to take after cosmetic procedures and when going shopping:
After undergoing non-invasive treatments such as hyaluronic acid injections, Pico treatments, or basic glow therapies, it is completely safe to go shopping immediately, and you can resume your normal activities right after the treatment. However, for treatments that involve deep heating, such as Thermage or HIFU, the face may become slightly red and swollen after the procedure. It is recommended to wear a hat and a mask when going out and take proper sun protection measures. After injections like Rejuran or Botox, it is important not to lie down or engage in strenuous exercise within 4 hours; walking slowly while shopping is generally acceptable.
6 handy tips for getting around to 6 Cheongdam OKAY Dermatology clinics: won’t get lost even on your first visit
📌
Below are some insights gained from actual site visits, which can help you save time on finding your way:
1. Using Starbucks as a landmark is the fastest
way to find Cheongdam OKAY Dermatology. Right across from the clinic, there is a Starbucks store located at 3-Samgeung, Cheongdam-dong. If you use Naver Map or Kakao Map for navigation, first locate this Starbucks store, and then walk back 50 meters in the direction of Exit 8. The Jaedong Building will be on your right.
The last train of the subway line 7 departs at 23:30 – don’t miss it! If you
book a session in the late afternoon (for example, at 17:00), remember to check the departure time of the last train after your treatment. At Cheongdam Station, the last train of line 7 heading towards “Kondae Entrance” also departs around 23:30, and the same time applies for the train heading towards “Express Bus Terminal”. If you miss it, you can always call a Kakao T taxi; it’s not difficult to hail one in Gangnam District at night.
3. When confirming your appointment, simply ask the Chinese-speaking c
ustomer service staff about the subway line and the nearest clinic. During the appointment confirmation process, you can simply ask, “I am starting from XX; which exit is the fastest?” The customer service staff will provide you with immediate advice. Contact number: +82-2-548-0808 (Chinese-speaking customer service hours: Monday to Friday, 10:00 AM–6:00 PM, with a break from 12:30 PM–1:30 PM).
4. On Saturdays, the business hours extend until 15:00, so it’s more convenient to schedule appointment
s in the morning. Cheongdam OK Dermatology is only open until 3:00 PM on Saturdays. If you choose to schedule an appointment on Saturday, it is recommended to book a time between 10:00 and 11:00 AM – this way, you will still have enough time to eat and shop around after your appointment. Sundays are off, so don’t bother coming if it’s a weekday.
5. Using Naver Map for driving navigation is the most accurate o
ption. If you choose to drive yourself, simply enter the South Korean address “Seoul Gangnam-gu Samsung-ro 715 Jae-dong Building” in Naver Map for navigation. Avoid using Google Maps, as its positioning system is not very accurate in South Korea.
6. After completing the treatment, do you want to go strai
ght back to your hotel? If your hotel is located in popular areas such as Myeongdong, Hongdae, or Dongdaemun, you can simply take the Line 7 in the opposite direction to get there. If your hotel is in the Gangnam area, many of them are within a 10-minute walk or taxi ride from the treatment site.
