Took Uber from Seoul to Incheon Airport and got charged '690,000 won'... Taiwanese tourist got totally ripped off | Asia Today | 2026.06.30 16:42 Final edited 2026.06.30 17:50 AI Chat Summary
Receipt (For storage) Total Fare: 690,800 won Trip/Extra Fare: 4,800 won / 620,000 won Tolls: 66,000 won Transaction Date/Time (Date): 2026-06-30 08:54 Pick-up & Drop off Time: 08:52-08:52 10.00 Km
A tourist calls an Uber -> moves from Gwangjin-gu in Seoul to Incheon Airport -> pays normally after arriving -> but then the driver suddenly pushes a personal card reader and demands additional payment -> the flight time is tight + it's foreign currency so they don't look carefully and just swipe and go catch the plane -> later finds out they swiped 69 million won
Desperate to make his flight, he had no choice but to pay directly through the card reader in the taxi.
But then came the issue with the amount. Since the tourist wasn't familiar with Korean currency,
he didn't immediately realize that about 690,000 won had been charged. It wasn't until he got a payment notification on his phone that
he found out the actual amount and was absolutely shocked.

Some jobs definitely have a hierarchy
bruh $690?? that's literally a month's rent in some countries 💀 Seoul taxis really said 'let me get this bag'
In an era where you can post everything on X, you think they won't report this once they leave the country? ㅋㅋ
Wait, did he accidentally add an extra zero?
Accidentally? Nah, are you part of the taxi union or something?
Whether it's a mistake or not, an extra zero definitely got added—Yongjong Bridge toll is only 6,600 won
That little thug bastard, give me a BILLION bucks
There's no hierarchy in jobs. But there sure as hell is one between people
this is why I always use Uber/Grab in Asia, no matter what. way too many horror stories with traditional taxis
Shouldn't we find this guy and give him a real lesson?
SEVEN HUNDRED DOLLARS?? I could fly to another country for that. this guy really saw her coming from a mile away
It's only been a few days—gotta reverse that charge ASAP
happened to me in Bangkok too. always always ALWAYS ask for the meter or use an app. lesson learned the hard way
lmaooo the taxi driver really said 'you're a tourist, your wallet is my wallet' 😭 that's wild
Seoul is usually so legit though, this is shocking? maybe the driver thought he could get away with it because she was foreign?
okay but why would you not check the meter... like this sucks but also come on 😅
