I think it depends what time you arrive in Seoul.
Seoul has an effective subway system, so you may take a subway at the
airport to Youngdeugpo Station or Seoul Station. Though you need to
transfer the subway in both cases, you can manage it, since they
inform it in English. Or you may simply(?) ask to the ppl where to
transfer or take the right subway.

I think there are many Mu-gung-hwa/Tong-il trains to Pusan, even at
night time. I'm not sure how long does it take to go there since I've
never been there. I just guess it'll be about 7~8 hours' trip from
Seoul.
If you take Sae-ma-eul, it'll take about 4 hours I guess.

Most trains are full, so I'm not sure you can find seats then. It'll
be really hectic if you don't have seats during such a long travel.

You can buy tickets at ticket machines with you master/visa card at
the station. It has English option, so in some regards it'll be more
convenient to purchase your ticket there than the ticket window.
Especially when you don't know the exact time of the train to your
destination or don't know if they have vacant seats, it's very helpful
since it shows available trains you can take from the time you choose.
Many Cho-heung Bank branches also have the machines, so you may
reserve & purchase train tickets there if you have credit cards.
Mostly I use the machine to buy tickets, and I'm content with it.

Hati.

PS; If you want to know the time table of trains to Pusan, inform me
your arrival time .

Ahnyong :)

I would suggest that you take either train or bus or subway from Kimpo
Airport to stay at a hotel for a night and getting used to the time
difference. Next day go to Seoul Station by subway or bus and then take
the train to Pusan from there. When going by train you can enjoy Korea
very much and it will be a beautiful experience. It takes longer than by
air plane of course but it is that worth :)

Good luck in your travels,
