If you encounter the above problems, you can download and install the "BucaCheck NFC Korean Transportation Card Balance Inquiry APP" to check the remaining won amount in the T-Money card. It is very convenient.
T-money card introduction
Let me quickly introduce the T-money card. This card is one of the must-have cards for traveling in South Korea. If you use cash to buy tickets on the Korean subway, you need to take the card to get a refund of the deposit of 500 won after leaving the station. It is quite a waste of time. T - The advantage of money is of course that it will be automatically deducted after you store the value. The Seoul subway fare will be 100 won cheaper than cash, and you can also transfer to city buses for free.
