You can reserve tickets without registering as a member on both the Internet and smartphone.

Select the desired seat on the selected train and proceed with payment.
Recently, in addition to card payment, various simple payment methods are available, so payment can be made more easily.
Purchase and cancellation of train tickets

Refunds/cancellations/refunds can be requested up until the departure time listed on the train ticket. Home tickets must be requested on the website, and mobile tickets must be requested on the Korail Talk app. If the departure time has passed, you must apply at the station window.
If you purchased a train ticket through the Korail Talk app, you can apply for a refund within 10 minutes after the train departs if you confirm that you are not currently on the train.
If the arrival time at the destination station listed on the train ticket has passed, you cannot apply for a refund.
If you request a refund for a purchased train ticket, the cancellation fee will be applied differently depending on the time of the refund application.
If you were unable to board the train due to a natural disaster, you can receive a 50% refund of the fare by submitting a certificate proving the reason for not being able to board the train along with the ticket to the station within one year of the boarding date.
If you paid for the train ticket but did not issue it before the train departed, the ticket will be automatically cancelled. However, a 15% fee will be charged in this case.
