About Korea Post
Korea Post is the chief postal service in South Korea, operating since 2000 and having its headquarters at Sejong City. It’s history dates back to 1884 when it operated as the Directorate General of Postal Services. Part of the Ministry of Science and ICT, the national postal service facilitates delivery of letters and parcels and a number of associated services.
