Highlights
The short answer
Any traveller who would rather not download an app can still use a Seoul subway coin locker: payment is possible at the kiosk after visiting the locker, as an alternative to reserving through the app. Whether that kiosk specifically accepts cash is not confirmed on the current operator page, so bring a card as a backup. A small bag runs from 3,000 KRW on a weekday, and an extra-large bag from 9,000 KRW, checked against the current listing.

Can I use a Seoul subway locker without downloading an app?
Yes. 역 물품보관함 (Station coin locker) payment does not require the app: pay at the kiosk after visiting the locker is offered as an alternative to reserving and paying through the app.
Does the kiosk accept cash?
This page cannot confirm that specifically. The source only states that kiosk payment is available as an alternative to the app; it does not break down which payment types the kiosk itself accepts. Bring a card in case cash is not an option at your kiosk.
How much does it cost?
₩3,000 (weekday) / ₩4,000 (weekend) for the first 4 hours for a small (up to 20") bag, plus ₩1,000 per additional hour ₩9,000 (weekday) / ₩13,000 (weekend) for the first 4 hours for an XL (27"+) bag
What if the kiosk near me doesn't take cash?
If the kiosk you find only accepts card payment, downloading the app becomes the fallback rather than a strict requirement, since the app path is confirmed to work regardless of the kiosk's own payment options.
Questions people ask
Do I need a Korean phone number to use the kiosk without the app?
This page does not confirm a phone number requirement for kiosk payment specifically; only that it is offered as an alternative to the app.
