Korean words on a ticketing screen
예매 화면에서 보게 될 단어
An untranslated booking page is not hard because Korean is hard. About 55 words carry the whole flow, and missing one at the wrong moment costs the ticket.
Grouped by where you meet them rather than alphabetically, because the question is never what a word means in the abstract — it is what this screen is asking you. Romanisation is Revised Romanization, the Korean government standard.

Making an account
회원가입Everything downstream depends on these matching your passport, so this is the screen to be slow on.

Finding the sale
예매 찾기The announcement names a platform and a time. These are the words that tell you which round you are looking at.
| 한글 | Romanisation | Meaning |

Choosing seats
좌석 선택Korean seat maps use a grade system rather than named tiers, and the grades are not consistent between venues.

|---|---|---|
| 좌석 | jwaseok | Seat |
| 좌석 선택 | jwaseok seontaek | Seat selection |
| 등급 | deunggeup | Grade / tier |

One word to get right
본인인증 — identity verification. On the Korean-language sites it generally depends on a Korean mobile number, which in practice needs Korean residency documentation. The overseas-facing sites exist for exactly this case and verify by passport instead. Which one applies to you follows from which platform your show is sold on, and that is named in the official announcement.
