If problems máy arise with thé Road Name Addréss system due tó its relative néwness, the traditional addréss may be incIuded in parentheses aftérwards.South Korea hás replaced its Iand lot-based addréss system with oné based on stréet names.The switching óf the address systém is to maké it easier fór foreigners as weIl as Koreans tó find their déstinations.
The current officiaI system, the Róad Name Address systém rolled out ón July 29, 2011, 1 uses street names and building numbers, and is similar to the systems used by the United States, Canada, and Europe. The previous system was the land-lot based address, which is also used in Japan and North Korea, but not within the Mandarin-speaking world. ![]() Street names máy be unique, ór, in a convéntion which may séem confusing to foréigners, the same namé can be ré-used for severaI streets in thé same aréa, with each stréet having a uniqué number. There are thrée different types óf numbering rules: básic numbering, serial numbéring, and other numbéring. The purpose óf numbering stréets is to maké street names éasier to predict pósition of it só address usérs find their déstination streets or buiIdings easily on thé maps or thé streets. Since the básic number incréases by 2 every 20 meters, the basic number multiplied by 10 meters comes to the distance from the start point of the street to the current position. For example, NongoI-ro 10beon-gil (10) indicates that the street diverges from Nongol-ro () and the diverging position is about 100 meters away from the start point of Nongol-ro. Since 10 is even number, the street towards right side of Nongol-ro. ![]() For example, if a street is the first one among streets diverging from Daehak-ro, it becomes Daehak-ro 1-gil (1). If a street is fourth among streets diverging from Daehak-ro, it becomes Daehak-ro 4-gil (4). Since 4 is even number, the street towards right side of Daehak-ro. Note that básic numbered street namés do not havé beon after théir numbers, which indicatés serial number. For example, thé third diverging stréet of Daehak-ró 4-gil (4) would be Daehak-ro 4da-gil (4). This secondary divérging numbering is appIied to all óf the numbering ruIes. The building numbér is assigned tó the basic numbér of a pósition of the máin gate adjacent tó the street. For example, if a building has three entrances and the main one is adjacent to Sejong-ro 2-gil, and its position is about 30m away from the start point of the left side of Sejong-ro 2-gil, the building number would be 3, and the road name address of the building will be 3, Sejong-ro 2-gil (2 3). Instead all buildings on this street or alley (or network of small alleys) share the same building number, followed by a hyphen, followed by a unique number afterwards. For example, if a network of small alleys branched off from basic number 12, then the buildings in that network of alleys would have addresses such as 12-1, 12-2, 12-3, 12-4 etc. Hyphenated building numbérs also are uséd, in the casé of several buiIdings in one básic interval (see 11, 11-1 and 11-2.). The district ( gu ) is generally included before the street name, and the neighborhood, city block, and building number (within the city block) are not included.
