[By Bus from Incheon Airport]
After leaving Customs and Immigration, find an Information desk and ask for directions to bus number 6011. It should be departing the airport from stop 5B or 12A.When the bus arrives, hand your luggage to the driver and tell him you are going to SungKyunKwan. He will give you a claim ticket for your luggage. The bus costs 9,000 won, which you can pay with cash or a T-Money card.
Aboard the bus, sit near the front and look for the 'Stop' button above your head. The bus only stops if someone pushes that button, so listen carefully for 'SungKyunKwan', and press the button when you hear it. The stop will be a little more than an hour away from the airport.
* If you get confused or think you have missed your stop, ask the driver: 'SungKyunKwan' He will hopefully speak English or be able to motion that the stop is farther ahead.
When you get off the bus, hand your claim ticket to the driver and collect your bags
Cross the five lane street, toward the Dunkin' Donuts.
Walk down the two-lane street, with the Dunkin' Donuts on your left and the T-World on your right, for about 2 minutes (500 feet/150 meters).
* If you pass a University on your left, you've gone too far.
On your right, you will see a bakery named 'BBang Goom Teo' (that's not a typo). Turn right just before this bakery.
Walk less than a minute (100 feet/30 meters), and you will see our building on your left. Look for our yellow 'Inside' sign over the door.
Come up to the second floor and ring the doorbell. You have arrived!
* Take your shoes off when you come inside, Please.

[By Subway]

You will see a Baskin Robbins as soon you come out of Hyehwa Subway Exit no. 4.
