KTX Korean BULLET TRAIN Economy Class REVIEW + Korean Breakfast | Seoul to Busan, South Korea
On the morning of my sixth day in South Korea, my boy Sam and I took the KTX, the Korean Express bullet train, to Busan, the second-largest city in the country. Come along with us as I give my review of the KTX train’s economy class and enjoy a mind-blowing Korean breakfast!
FEATURED TRAVELER:
Sam:
We started our day at Seoul Station, where we found a woman selling gimbap hand rolls and other foods like mochis! I bought a hand roll for 2,000 won/roughly $1.65 USD. It was the best breakfast ever! I loved the vegetables and pork and was the perfect thing to have at 5:30 in the morning!
Once inside Seoul Station, we saw lots of grab-and-go shops on the first level. There are restaurants on level 2, but we didn’t have time. I recommend booking your KTX train tickets 4-5 days in advance if you plan on traveling on the weekend. We decided to leave for Busan at 6 a.m. so we’d get a full day to explore the city.
One ticket cost 59,800 won, or just under $50 USD, which is about half the price of the Japanese bullet trains. It’s really efficient and quicker than flying.
Seoul Station is the biggest station in South Korea, but it’s still small when compared to the ones in Japan and China. There are 15 tracks and we had about 15 minutes until we had to catch our train.
When you go to Korea, remember to be on time for your trains. They leave five minutes after they arrive and will not wait for you. Once you leave the main hall, you’ll get to the tracks. Our track was number 4 and there were no delays.
After boarding, I got to check out the train. There’s an area for luggage right inside the car. Korea is really safe, so you don’t have to worry about it! The seats recline and there’s free WiFi onboard. There’s also tons of leg room even if you’re six feet tall like me!
The KTX bullet train started its service in 2004 and travels at speeds up to 190 mph. I slept for about 90 minutes and by the time I woke up, we were 10 minutes from Busan. The ride was super quiet and smooth even though it was filled to capacity. It makes a few stops and takes about 2 hours and 15 minutes. Outside, there were lots of big, green hills, farming communities, rice communities, and lots of tunnels. I couldn’t wait to get to Busan and eat a huge breakfast!
I was starving once we arrived in Busan! We made it to the main terminal but didn’t want any sweets like doughnuts, so we went to a bibimbap café on the second level. You should always eat the local food as much as possible when you travel!
Sam ordered for us. I got a tuna and kimchi bibimbap, while Sam got a pumpkin and rice porridge. Mine was essentially a rice bowl with tuna, kimchi, seaweed, cucumber, radish, and mushrooms. On the side, I had more kimchi, a root vegetable, and a soup. It’s served in a stone pot, which burns the bottom of the rice and makes it extra delicious!
I added a delicious red sauce and mixed everything together. It was right up my alley and so delicious! I loved the burned rice. It was a nice explosion of flavors and textures, from the tuna to the rice to the crunchy vegetables. I was blown away! It was so tasty and filling!
What an eventful four-hour journey to Busan!
I hope you enjoyed coming with me to Busan on the KTX train! If you did, please give this video a thumbs up, leave me a comment, and subscribe so you don’t miss any of my upcoming travel/food adventures!

KTX Korean BULLET TRAIN First Class REVIEW + Spicy Korean Breakfast | Busan to Seoul, South Korea
My tenth day in South Korea began in Busan, where my travel buddy Sam and I ended our time there to head back to Seoul, where we would finish out our amazing, two-week trip! Come along with us as we have a spicy Korean breakfast and then take a first-class KTX bullet train ride back to Seoul!
FEATURED TRAVELER:
Sam:
Our day started with a bit of a hiccup: we were both so wiped from our non-stop travels that we slept through our alarms! We made a mad dash to Busan Station but ended up with more than an hour before our train.
Busan Station has lots of restaurants and convenience stores, but we had enough time to go up to the second level and eat some traditional Korean food. We ordered a kimchi stew with rice, which looked super spicy and delicious. It had onions, spring onions, and tofu.
The broth was really spicy, hot in temperature, and rich in flavor. While my stew cooled off, I tried the fish cake with mushrooms, which was like oden. The kimchi on the side wasn’t as spicy as the stew bu t was amazing. There were also some really refreshing vegetables with a creamy sauce.
The rice was fresh and contained a second grain in it. Sam and I both had to let the stew sit for it to cool off. I had never eaten anything so spicy for breakfast! It really lit me up!
After our meal, we had 20 minutes until our train. You have to be punctual because the trains in Korea are never late. There’s a sign just outside the main area that told us tha the 8:10 a.m. KTX train wasn’t delayed. It’s so efficient!
We went to find car number 3 of our train. It was tough to lug our bags down the platform, but we made it! My first class seat had a table. There’re also a KTX magazine. You have to be super quiet on trains in Korea, and it was still early, so people were sleeping. You can recline your seats and charge your batteries in the outlet. The seats are made of a nice material.
Our tickets cost 83,700 won, or about $69 U.S. It’s a great value for a 2.5-hour ride that crosses the entire country!
In first class, they give you a packet that contains mixed nuts, a chocolate chip cookie, and a wipey. There are so many tunnels along the route, as well as mountains and villages. We passed through one tunnel for almost 20 minutes!
The nutswere really nice and contained cashews, raisins, and almonds. You should always use a wet wipe before you eat in Korea. They give them to you all the time.
Onboard, there’s also a water machine, which provides you with a bottle of ice-cold water for free. There’s also a bathroom with a toilet and sink.
With an hour and 30 minutes left, we had already passed a few cities. I recommend bringing food onboard because they don’t serve food on Korean trains.
After sleeping a bit more, we made our way through Seoul Station and headed to our two-bedroom Airbnb apartment in the city. It’s located right outside of exit 12, so it’s easy to catch trains and buses to anywhere in the city.
We followed our Airbnb host’s instructions from Seoul Station. It’s hard to use the street signs to navigate because of the language barrier, so we had to follow the pictures he sent instead! Luckily, the instructions were very clear. They usually have a password keypad, which is really cool.
It was a bit of a walk to get there. The apartment was down a restaurant row with lots of delicious items I couldn’t wait to try. Finally, we arrived at The Dada House & Co. Our unit was on the second floor. It was really nice, with a little kitchen, little living room, small kitchen, and two bedrooms.
What a morning!

How to ride the KTX at Seoul Station | Korea Travel Tips
Do you want to know how to ride the KTX?
Just watch this video!!
Fastest Korean train 430 km h Maximum
HEMU-430X (standing for High-Speed Electric Multiple Unit 430 km/h eXperimental) is a South Korean high-speed train intended for a maximum speed of 430 km/h (267 mph). On March 31, 2013, it achieved 421.4 km/h in a test run, making South Korea the world's fourth country after France, Japan and China to develop a high-speed train running on conventional rail above 420 km/h.[3] The main new feature of the train compared to older South Korean high-speed trains is distributed traction. The foreseen commercial version of the train, tentatively named KTX-III, would enter regular service in 2015 with a top speed of 370 km/h (230 mph).
KTX-III, the commercial derivative of HEMU-430X, is expected to enter service in 2015. KTX-III was intended to cut Seoul-Busan travel times to 1 hour 50 minutes with a maximum operating speed of 350 km/h (217 mph). The targeted top speed was later increased to 370 km/h (230 mph).
A South Korean Express (KTX) train arrives at Busan railroad station, 460Km southeast of Seoul.The second phase of the Seoul-Busan project entered service last month, with a couple sections across urban areas remaining for completion in 2014. Top speed for trains in regular service is currently 190 miles per hour, while the infrastructure is designed for a top speed of 217 MPH.

Traveling by Train in Korea - Korail's KTX High Speed Train from Seoul to Busan
In case you wonder what traveling by train in Korea is like, I've made a short summary of my trip from Seoul to Busan, Korea's second largest city. KTX is Korea's high speed railway system, operated by Korail. The journey from Seoul to Busan takes about 2hrs and 15 mins. The train makes just a couple of short stops along the way. The one-way fare is about 58.000 won or USD 58 (2019).

The KTX is the main high-speed train (bullet train) in South-Korea. These trains run between the biggest cities. This trip report will be between the 2 biggest cities in South-Korea. There will not only be a review about the specific train where I'm on, I will also show the other train types and the SRT trains.
I'll be making 3 trip reports in South-Korea on regular trains all on different train classes.
There will be 2 additional video's on tourist trains in South-Korea.

KTX Train Ride - Seoul to Gyeongju, Korea (No Talking, No Music)
High-Speed KTX Train Ride
From Seoul Station to Singyeongju Station, Gyeongsangbuk-do, Korea
KTX: 서울역-신경주역
Korea Train eXpress (KTX, 케이티엑스 Kei-ti-ek-seu) is South Korea's high-speed rail system, operated by Korail. Construction began on the high-speed line from Seoul to Busan in 1992. KTX services were launched on April 1, 2004.
From Seoul Station the KTX lines radiate with stops at Seoul Station, Yongsan Station towards Busan and Gwangju, and from Gangnam District's Suseo Station with intermediate stations in New Dongtan and Seoul Subway Line 1's Jije Station in Pyeongtaek. A new line from Wonju to Gangneung was completed in December 2017 to serve the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang.
Top speed for trains in regular service is currently 305 km/h (190 mph), though the infrastructure is designed for 350 km/h (217 mph). The initial rolling stock was based on Alstom's TGV Réseau, and was partly built in Korea. The domestically developed HSR-350x, which achieved 352.4 km/h (219.0 mph) in tests, resulted in a second type of high-speed trains now operated by Korail, the KTX Sancheon. The next generation KTX train, HEMU-430X, achieved 421.4 km/h in 2013, making South Korea the world's fourth country after Japan, France and China to develop a high-speed train running on conventional rail above 420 km/h.

BUSAN TO SEOUL KTX First Class Review | Train ride in South Korea
Come join us as we head from Busan to Seoul in this KTX first-class review of our train ride in South Korea back to the capital. When it comes to getting from the second biggest city to Seoul you can't find a better way than taking the KTX train in terms of comfort, efficiency, and price.
David's channel:
Our journey started off bright and early as we headed to Busan train station early to grab a bite to eat. For breakfast, we had Kimchi Jjigae - a spicy Korean stew along with rice and side dishes.
The KTX train ride from Busan to Seoul was as scenic as you can get on a bright and sunny day as we passed through tunnels, countryside, farms, and cities along the way.
What a first-class ticket offers you is free cold drinking water, newspaper service and a small snack box that includes mixed nuts and a cookie. You get a bit more leg-room as well when sitting down. In terms of how much a one-way ticket costs it comes to 83,700 Won which is $70 USD for a 2 Hour + journey.

BUSAN TO SEOUL KTX First Class Review | Train ride in South Korea :
Hey guys! We are Samuel and Audrey, a vlogging travel couple from Canada. In this travel channel we share our travel and food vlogs while touring the world.
Our most recent trip was to South Korea where I embarked upon a two-week adventure without Audrey. Invited as part of a YouTube vlogging trip, organized by KTO, I spent the first week traveling with other YouTubers in Seoul, Busan and Gyeongju. My second week included independent exploration of Korea with my good friend and fellow YouTuber David of DavidsBeenHere.
Having lived and traveled in South Korea, the chance to return to one of my favorite countries was one of the biggest surprises of 2019. On this particular trip, I had an opportunity to do many things I had not previously covered including a visit to the DMZ (Demilitarized Zone between South Korea and North Korea), a Buddhist Temple Stay and a Korean cooking class. It was almost as if the program designed by KTO knew exactly what I had missed out on before.
Obviously, a huge highlight from the two weeks I spent revisiting Korea was the food. I feasted on all of my favorite Korean dishes including Korean barbecue, dolsot bibimbap, haemul pajeon, tteokbokki, bulgogi, kimbap and many others. I can honestly say that Korean food is world-class and is one of my top 5 favorite cuisines in the world. Aside from trying familiar dishes, I had the opportunity to sample raw Korean seafood for the first time.
While visiting Seoul, highlights included going to Gyeongbokgung Palace, Namsan Seoul Tower, Jogyesa Temple and Hongdae. As one of the biggest cities in the world, I barely scratched the surface of things to do in Seoul.
Spending extended time in Busan was my favorite part about the trip with top highlights including a Korean temple stay, fresh fish markets and a Korean baseball game. It was from Busan that we ended up taking a day-trip to Daegu where we enjoyed a traditional Korean market and tried Galbi-Jjim for the first time.
