NO1: Brushing teeth on the go

Brushing teeth on the go Koreans carry toothbrushes everywhere. After lunch, after coffee... oral care is part of the routine, not just morning & night.

Hongdae on the weekend was very crowded

Hi everyone! I’m an international student living in Seoul, and I recently got my Korean driver’s license in less than a month. I wanted to share my experience in case it helps anyone who’s planning to do the same.

Cost

In total, I spent around 800,000 ~ 1,000,000 KRW, depending on the driving school and number of practice sessions.

The process includes 3 main exams:

1. Theory test

This part is actually quite easy. I studied for about 1 week, mostly using practice questions. The best thing is that the test is available in multiple languages, so it’s very foreigner-friendly.

2. Functional test (driving course test)

This is done on a closed course. You’ll need to memorize the route and follow specific rules (signals, stops, etc.). It may feel a bit strict, but with enough practice, it’s manageable.

3. Road test (on-road driving)

This is the final step. You’ll drive on real roads with an examiner. It can be a bit stressful, but if you stay calm and follow what you learned, you’ll be fine.

My tips:

Choose a good driving school with foreigner support

Practice consistently, even short sessions help a lot

Don’t be too nervous during the test, small mistakes are okay

Good luck everyone 🍀
