Should I use Keep24 at KINTEX Station?

While Keep24 KINTEX Station is operating, the provider has reported intermittent technical issues where locker doors fail to open after payment. If you are in a rush (e.g., catching a flight or heading to a concert), it is safer to use the highly reliable Daehwa Station Exit 4 branch.

How to Store Luggage When Visiting KINTEX or Goyang Stadium

When attending concerts, sports matches, or large exhibitions at KINTEX (킨텍스) or Goyang Stadium (고양종합운동장), carrying heavy suitcases or large backpacks is highly inconvenient. Many large travel suitcases (28 inches or larger) do not fit in standard station lockers or exhibition coin lockers.

Based on verified local research, this guide outlines the best luggage storage solutions, smart locker specifications, and locations suitable for both venues.

Top Recommendation: Keep24 Daehwa Station Exit 4#

If you are carrying a large travel suitcase (20～30 inches), the most reliable option is to head directly to Keep24 Daehwa Station Exit 4 (대화역 4번 출구).

Internal Large Locker Dimensions: 44cm (Width) x 58cm (Depth) x 87cm (Height). This easily fits a 28～30 inch cargo suitcase.
Quantity: There are 11 large lockers designated for suitcase storage.
Advantage: Open 24/7. Even if your concert or event ends late at night, you can retrieve your belongings at any hour.
Payment Methods: Credit/debit cards, Samsung Pay, Apple Pay, and Kakao Pay are accepted. Cash is not accepted, so ensure you have a physical card or mobile payment option ready.

Access to Goyang Stadium (고양종합운동장)#

From Daehwa Station (대화역) Exit 4, it is about a 10-minute walk to the East Gate entrance of Goyang Stadium. Keeping your luggage at the Exit 4 branch allows for a smooth, direct walk to the stadium. The locker operator officially promotes the Daehwa Station Exit 4 branch as a primary storage spot for visitors to Goyang Gymnasium and Goyang Stadium.

Access to KINTEX (킨텍스)#

From Daehwa Station, KINTEX is about a 15～20 minute walk, or a short bus/taxi transfer away. Since KINTEX on-site lockers have a high risk of being fully occupied on event days, it is recommended to secure your luggage at Daehwa Station before heading to KINTEX.

On-site Lockers and Risks#

KINTEX Exhibition Lobby Lockers#

KINTEX has digital locker blocks located in its main lobbies.

Locations: Lobby of Center 1 (next to entrances of Halls 1～5) and Center 2 (next to Halls 6 & 10, plus 2F central lobby).
Pricing: Small (1,000 KRW), Medium (2,000 KRW), Large (3,000 KRW).
Caveats: Unlike Keep24, KINTEX lobby lockers do not support temporary opening. Once you open the door, the session terminates, and you must pay again to lock it. Large locker slots are limited and fill up very early on major festival days.

Keep24 KINTEX Branch (Hillstate Ilsan)#

A 24-hour private smart locker facility, Keep24 KINTEX Branch, is available in the KINTEX and GTX-A KINTEX Station area.

Address: 217-21 Kintex-ro, Ilsanseo-gu, Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-do (Hillstate Ilsan Bldg 101, #108).
Key Features: Convenient 24-hour unmanned smart locker station for visitors arriving via GTX-A KINTEX Station or visiting KINTEX Exhibition Halls without walking back to Daehwa Station. An ideal backup option when venue lockers inside KINTEX are full.

Practical Tips for Locker Users#

No Advance Booking: Keep24 operates strictly on a first-come, first-served basis. On major concert weekends, plan to arrive at least 2 to 3 hours before the venue doors open.
Temporary Opening: Keep24 allows you to temporarily open your locker to add or retrieve small items. However, if you mistakenly tap “End Use” (이용종료) on the touch screen, the locker will release permanently, requiring a new payment to lock it again.
Customer Support: If you have questions about locker availability or encounter any issues, call the Keep24 support hotline at 031-922-5337.
