If you’re looking for a unique yet practical souvenir from your trip to Seoul, this one’s for you!! Here’s a no bullshit guide to making your very own customized transportation card.

Machine: OPPACARD
Locations (that I know of):
- Hongik University Station (I went to this one)
- Daiso Myeongdong Outlet
- YP Bookstore in Jonggak
Is the machine only in Korean? There are other languages available like English or Chinese
Price: ₩7,000 ($5USD)
Methods of payment:
- Cash (only accepts ₩5,000 and ₩1,000 bills)
- Credit card
- WeChat Pay
- Alipay
- QR/Coupon
Pick between these two card choices:
- Kakao themed card
- fully customized by scanning the QR code to open OPPAcard.com (or type it in yourself) and selecting an image on your phone, a QR code will generate on your phone which you should scan with the machine’s QR code scanner (I did this one!)
Wait for it to process and print out then go take your newly customized T Money card and top that bad boy up because no it does not come with a balance!
