When using Google Maps to find your way in South Korea, especially when searching for a Dermatology clinic located in a small alley, in eight out of ten cases, you will end up going in the wrong direction. This article teaches you how to set up the Naver Maps interface in Chinese, so that it will take only 1 minute to get from the airport to the No. 3 exit of the Yushui Station of the Milacc Dermatology clinic in Hannam-dong. Even someone who is completely lost can follow these instructions to arrive at the clinic. The guide also includes detailed information on the AREX bus route from the airport, how to transfer between subway lines in the city center, and step-by-step walking directions.
Why not use Google Maps in South Korea? Naver Map is the right choice.
📌
When it comes to navigation in South Korea, Google Maps is notoriously unreliable – the accuracy of the map data is low, bus routes are often calculated incorrectly, and pedestrian navigation frequently leads you in the wrong direction. The reason is simple: the South Korean government imposes restrictions on the export of geographic data, so Google does not have access to detailed map information, resulting in navigation quality that is far inferior to that of local apps.
Comparison between Google Map and Naver Map:
- Walking Navigation: Google Maps often calculates distances using the straight-line method, but in reality, users may need to climb over walls to reach their destination; Naver Maps, on the other hand, is more accurate and takes into account turns at alley entrances.
- Bus routes: Google Maps shows delayed schedules and outdated route information; Naver Maps provides real-time updates, including details for both the first and last departures.
- Store location: Many small businesses in South Korea are not listed on Google Maps; even cafes located in alleys are available on Naver Maps.
- Chinese support: Naver Map will fully support the Chinese interface starting from 2025, eliminating the need to use Korean.
The conclusion is clear: when going to South Korea for medical beauty treatments, using Naver Map on your smartphone is ten times more reliable than Google Map. The following steps will guide you through setting up the Chinese interface.

Complete tutorial on how to set up Naver Map in Chinese – done in just 5 steps!
📱
Many people think that Naver Map is only available in Korean. In fact, since 2025, it has fully supported the Traditional Chinese language interface. The setup process is extremely simple – just follow these 5 steps to switch languages, and thereafter, searching for restaurant names, viewing navigation directions, and checking routes can all be done in Chinese.
A step-by-step guide to setting up Naver Map in Chinese:
- Download the app: Search for “Naver Map” in the App Store or Google Play and download it for installation.
- Opening the App: When opening it for the first time, select “Agree” to access the main interface.
- Go to Settings: Click on the gear icon in the top right corner → Settings.
- Switch languages: Find the “Language” option and select “Traditional Chinese”.
- Restart the App: Close the App and then reopen it; the entire interface will be displayed in Chinese.
After completing the settings, simply enter “Meilaxi” or “milacc” in the search bar to locate the store directly. Click on the navigation option, and it will automatically calculate the shortest route from your current location to the clinic – without the need to understand any Korean text at all.
If you don’t want to download the app, you can also use the web version: map.naver.com. It supports Chinese search as well, but it doesn’t have the voice navigation feature.
From the airport to Milacc: The most cost-effective route is AREX + Gyeongui Central Line.
🚇
From Incheon Airport to the Milacc Dermatology clinic in Hannam-dong, the most cost-effective and reliable way is to take the AREX airport train and then transfer to the Gyeongui Central Line. The entire journey takes approximately 80 minutes, and the fare is ⩺44,750 (about NT$110), which is half the price of taking the airport shuttle bus and there is no traffic congestion either.
Airport → Milacc: Detailed route information:
- Incheon Airport T1/T2: Take the AREX regular train (All Stop Train) heading towards Seoul Station.
- Konde Station: Get off the train and transfer to the Gyeongui-Jungang Line, heading in the direction of Yongsan/Dipyeong.
- Yushui Station: Exit at Exit 3 and walk approximately 51 meters (in 1 minute) to reach Milacc Dermatology.
Time and cost:
- AREX Incheon → Gongde: Approximately 50 minutes, ₩44,050
- On the Gyeongui Central Line, the travel time from Kongde to Yushui is approximately 8 minutes, and the fare is 91,200 won (automatically deducted from your transportation card).
- The entire journey takes approximately 80 minutes, including transfers and walking. The total fare is NT$44,750.
- It is recommended to purchase an T-money card (available at convenience stores for ⩲2,500); it offers discounts on both subways and buses.
You can also take the AREX Express to Seoul Station and then transfer there, but the fare for the express service is ₩9,500, and it only saves you 10 minutes – so the cost-performance ratio isn’t very good. Regular train services are more frequent, with trains arriving every 15–20 minutes, so there’s no need to rush if you don’t have a tight schedule.
