How much does it actually cost to store a bag in Hongdae in 2026? We didn’t guess: we walked to every locker bank and staffed counter around Hongik University Station and read the posted price boards in person (most recently in early July 2026). Here is every rate, in one place.
- Small bags: from ₩2,000 / 4 hrs (in-station and 24h lockers).
- Large suitcases: from ₩4,000 / 4 hrs at lockers; staffed counters from ₩5,000 on weekdays.
- Some spots charge more on weekends — check the two columns below.

How pricing works around Hongik Univ. Station
Most lockers charge per 4-hour block (one place uses a 3-hour block). A few work differently: LuggageQ charges by the hour, and the Exit 7 spot charges a flat day rate. Staffed counters charge a 4-hour base plus an hourly add-on, and two of them post higher weekend/holiday rates. Keep those units in mind when comparing — a “cheap” hourly rate adds up on a full day.

- A quick 1–2 hour stop: LuggageQ’s ₩1,000/hour beats every 4-hour block.
- A large suitcase on a weekday: ₩4,000 lockers (station, Cocoon, Welcome Center), or Kplanz’s staffed counter at ₩5,000 if you want it handed over a desk.
- An oversized (27″+) case: Kplanz is the cheapest posted rate at ₩8,000 on weekdays; Yellow’s XL locker is ₩6,000 if your case fits.
- All day (8+ hours): the Exit 7 flat rate — ₩4,000 for the whole day (small–medium bags only).
