KINTEX Concert Guide (2026): GTX-A Exits, Last Trains and Lockers

Last checked: 2026-10-31

Quick answer

KINTEX is a large exhibition center in Ilsan, Goyang, just northwest of Seoul. Address: 경기도 고양시 일산서구 킨텍스로 217-60.
Check your hall first. There are two buildings, and Hall 1 and Hall 2 use different GTX-A exits. Your show's notice should name the hall.
From Seoul Station: the GTX-A express to KINTEX Station takes 17 minutes by the timetable. The weekday adult fare is 4,200 won, and weekends may be lower.
GTX-A exits: the KINTEX map shows Exit 1 for Exhibition Center 1 and Exit 5 for Exhibition Center 2.
Last train to Seoul Station: 00:42 every day on the GTX-A timetable. Check Line 3 on a map app on show day.

Getting there

GTX-A to KINTEX Station

GTX-A runs through Seoul Station, Yeonsinnae, Daegok and KINTEX, and on to Unjeong Jungang. A KINTEX notice for a big 2025 exhibition also recommended it to avoid road and parking problems.

Destination	Exit shown on the KINTEX map
Exhibition Center 1 (KINTEX 1)	GTX-A Exit 1
Exhibition Center 2 (KINTEX 2)	GTX-A Exit 5

The station has 5 exits. KINTEX's route table gives a 5-minute walk, but one line of the same table says 14 minutes, so allow 15 minutes. The station is deep underground: GTX-A says the lifts take about 4 minutes from the platform to the street. Allow more time when there is a crowd.

Line 3 to Daehwa Station

Daehwa is the end of Line 3.

KINTEX lists a 14-minute walk from Daehwa Station to the venue.
The KINTEX map shows walking routes from the Exit 2 and Exit 3 side to Exhibition Center 1. Center 2 is farther.
KINTEX also lists buses at the stops around each hall.

From the airports

KINTEX publishes these approximate figures. They are undated, so check your map app before you go.

From	Route	Time	Fare
Incheon Airport	AREX to Gimpo Airport, Seohae Line to Daegok, then GTX-A to KINTEX	About 70 min + walk	About 6,000 won
Incheon Airport	Airport limousine 3300 to Daehwa Station	About 57 min + 14-min walk	8,500 won
Incheon Airport	Taxi	About 45 min	About 44,000 won
Gimpo Airport	Seohae Line to Daegok, then GTX-A to KINTEX	About 25 min + 5-min walk	3,400 won
Gimpo Airport	Bus 150 to Daehwa Station	About 54 min + 14-min walk	1,650 won
Gimpo Airport	Taxi	About 19 min	About 17,210 won

We couldn't find limousine 3300 in Incheon Airport's own bus list, so check it on the airport's site or at the bus counter before you rely on it.

After the show: last trains

Station	Last train to	Mon–Fri	Sat, Sun, holidays
KINTEX (GTX-A)	Seoul Station	00:42	00:42

The GTX-A time comes from the GTX-A timetable.
Check Line 3 last trains on a map app on show day.
GTX-A runs less often late at night. At KINTEX Station, trains leave for Seoul at 23:04, 23:19, 23:34, 23:49, 00:04, 00:22 and 00:42.
A late GTX-A train gets you to Seoul Station, but Line 1, Line 4 and AREX may have finished. Check the next leg to your hotel.

For the 2026 SBS Gayo Daejeon on 24 and 25 December, check the hall and end time in the show notice.

Crowds and taxis

The KINTEX map marks one parking lot near Exhibition Center 1 as closed for construction, so don't plan to drive without checking.
For a taxi, walk away from the gates before you request one. Allow more time at a big show.

Show the driver: 킨텍스, 경기도 고양시 일산서구 킨텍스로 217-60. Add the hall number if you know it.

Merch and lockers

Merch: KINTEX publishes no general concert merch information. Each organizer runs its own booths, so check the show's official notice.
Lockers: KINTEX lists lockers beside the entrances to Halls 1–4 in Center 1, and near Halls 6 and 10 and in the 2nd-floor central lobby in Center 2. Small lockers cost 1,000 won, medium 2,000 won and large 3,000 won. They are available during opening hours, which can change by event. The page doesn't list payment methods, so bring some cash. Phone: 010-4028-1883.

Organizers can restrict the area around a hall on show days, so a locker near another hall may be easier to reach.

Where to stay

We don't recommend specific hotels. These areas work well:

Area	Why
Daehwa and the KINTEX area	Walk back after the show
Juyeop and Jeongbalsan	Line 3, close to Daehwa
Seoul Station	One GTX-A ride, and AREX for your flight
Yeonsinnae	GTX-A and Lines 3 and 6

Seats and views

KINTEX is an exhibition center, not a fixed concert hall. The stage, floor and any seating are set up for each show, so the only reliable plan is on your show's official notice or booking page. We don't rate views, because we have no official source.
