Can foreigners pack and ship heavy K-pop merch and skincare via EMS at Seoul Central Post Office?

Question

I bought too many albums and Olive Young cosmetics and my suitcase is overweight. Can I mail boxes home directly from Myeongdong?

Yes! Head to Seoul Central Post Office (서울중앙우체국), located in the Post Tower building right at the edge of Myeongdong, opposite Shinsegae Department Store's main branch — closest access is Myeongdong Station (Line 4), Exit 5, about a 5-minute walk.

Procedure:
1. Enter the postal hall inside Post Tower.
2. Purchase official postal boxes (Sizes 1 to 5) and use the taping/bubble-wrap packaging counters.
3. Complete the English Customs declaration (EMS) using your smartphone via the on-site QR instructions.
4. Take a waiting ticket, hand your parcels to the counter agent, and pay international shipping via credit card.
