The short answer
Any traveller who wants to skip the queue on arrival can order a KT prepaid SIM ahead of time: reserve and pay online in advance, then collect the physical SIM at the KT roaming center once you land, after identity verification. The counter near arrival hall F runs 24 hours, while the one near arrival hall A keeps shorter hours, checked against the current KT roaming listing.

Can I buy a Korean SIM before I arrive and collect it at the airport?
Yes. Reserve and pay online in advance, then pick up the SIM at the KT roaming center at the arrival airport after identity verification
What hours can I pick it up?
The counter near arrival hall A runs 06:00–22:00, and the one near arrival hall F runs 00:00–24:00.
How much does the SIM cost?
Data-only pricing runs from ₩6,500 for a 1-day plan up to ₩71,500 for a 30-day plan, with ₩35,000 for a 7-day plan in between.
What if I land outside the hall-A counter's hours?
The counter near arrival hall F keeps the longer window of the two, so it is the safer choice if your flight lands well outside typical daytime hours, regardless of which counter you originally reserved for.
Questions people ask
Do I need to bring anything specific to collect a pre-ordered SIM?
Identity verification is confirmed as part of the pickup process; bring your passport, which is separately confirmed as required for KT’s prepaid SIM in general.
