Why Hongik University Station is a convenient base
Hongik University Station is one of the busiest stations in western Seoul and the main gateway to Hongdae. It connects three lines: Line 2, which loops around the city through Sinchon, City Hall and Gangnam; AREX, the Airport Railroad linking Incheon and Gimpo airports with Seoul Station; and the Gyeongui–Jungang Line, which runs toward Gongdeok and beyond. For visitors, this means you can often travel from the airport to Hongdae without changing trains.
Line 2 also connects Hongik University Station to Sinchon, just one stop away, and to Ewha Womans University and City Hall further east, so the area works well as a base for exploring the city.
Many travelers choose to stay near the station because of its mix of guesthouses, hotels, cafes and nightlife. Having a skin clinic within the same neighborhood makes it easier to fit a consultation or treatment into your trip without long cross-city journeys.
