How do I pay my subway in Korea?

Subway ticketing options There are two primary ways to pay for your train ticket – by cash or the T-Money Card. “Cash” means you'll need to purchase single-journey tickets for every train ride that you take. If you only intend to use the subway less than five times, this would be a better option.
