Partner Network

One Coin, Every Seoul Pass

KC Coin isn't trying to replace Seoul's official transit and tourism cards — it partners with them. Like an airline alliance that lets you earn and redeem miles across carriers, KC Coin layers on top of the cards fans already carry, turning everyday transit taps and attraction visits into KC you can spend anywhere in the KC Coin network.

The Airline Strategy

An open-loop coalition, not a closed system

Airline alliances don't ask you to give up your favorite carrier — they let your miles count everywhere in the network. KC Coin applies the same idea to Seoul's tourist cards: link one, keep using it exactly as before, and it starts earning KC on the side.

1

Link a card

Register your Discover Seoul Pass, Climate Card, or CHECK iN SEOUL card number to your KC Coin profile — takes a minute, no new card to carry.

2

Use it like normal

Tap through transit gates, attraction turnstiles, or partner registers exactly the way you already do — nothing changes about how the card itself works.

3

Earn KC on top

Every verified use posts a bonus straight to your KC wallet — the same ledger that already tracks your MiniLog, games, and Visit Korea check-ins.

The Three Cards

What you can link today

Three real, independently-run Seoul cards, each covering a different slice of a visit — KC Coin's coalition concept works alongside all three.

Seoul Tourism Organization
All-Inclusive Pass

Discover Seoul Pass

An all-inclusive tourism pass with free admission to 70+ attractions like N Seoul Tower and Gyeongbokgung Palace, a built-in Tmoney transit card, and a free 5-day eSIM. Priced by 24hr / 48hr / 72hr.

Concept: +3 KC per verified attraction check-in
Seoul Metropolitan Government · "GO SEOUL"
Transit-Only Pass

Climate Card Tourist Pass

Unlimited rides on Seoul subways, city buses, and public bicycles (Ttareungi), sold in 1 to 7-day tiers to promote eco-friendly transit for visitors.

Concept: +1 KC per verified ride, capped daily
Private-public initiative · LOTTECARD
Prepaid Transit + Retail

CHECK iN SEOUL Card

A prepaid transit and retail payment card — load funds via an app to pay for shopping, dining, and transit while getting 10–30% discounts at participating merchants.

Concept: +2% of every load-up, stacked on the card's own discount
Cost Breakdown

What each pass costs

Fixed-rate, short-term pricing designed for visitors — none of this changes when you link a card to KC Coin.

Pass Type 1-Day 2-Day 3-Day 5-Day 7-Day
Climate Card 5,000 KRW8,000 KRW10,000 KRW15,000 KRW20,000 KRW
Mpass (Tmoney) 15,000 KRW23,000 KRW30,500 KRW47,500 KRW64,500 KRW

Note: Discover Seoul Pass is priced separately by 24-hour, 48-hour, or 72-hour time limits rather than by calendar day.

Who Runs What

Funding, governance & how to get one

Governance

Climate Card — funded, issued, and regulated by the Seoul Metropolitan Government to promote eco-friendly public transit among visitors.

Discover Seoul Pass — officially run by the Seoul Tourism Organization to drive tourist spending at local cultural venues.

CHECK iN SEOUL Card — a private-public initiative managed by major financial institutions including LOTTECARD.

How to acquire them

Physical purchase — buy a Climate Card for 3,000 KRW at Seoul Metro Information Centers or convenience stores, then top it up at station kiosks.

Airport collection — order the Discover Seoul Pass or CHECK iN SEOUL card online or via app, then pick it up on arrival at Incheon International Airport.

What this partnership is and isn't

  • KC Coin never touches the balance stored on these cards — it only reads a verified usage event and posts a bonus to your separate KC ledger
  • None of these three cards are issued, operated, or endorsed by KC Coin — the Seoul Tourism Organization, Seoul Metropolitan Government, and LOTTECARD remain the sole issuers
  • Card linking on this page is a product-concept demo — no real Discover Seoul Pass, Climate Card, or CHECK iN SEOUL account is contacted or modified
  • A real integration would require a direct data-sharing partnership with each issuer before this could ever go live
