There are several apps available that give you clear directions to your destination with several options. The subways are also friendly to foreigners like me. All of the signs are in Korean and English, and each stop is announced in both Korean and English.
Seoul is a beautiful city full of modern skyscrapers, ancient temples and palaces, open air markets and high-end shopping districts. There are A LOT of people living, working and moving around in a fast-paced city that is determined to preserve and protect its many important sites of history and culture. However, there is a limited amount of space, so this reliable and extensive public transportation system is very important. It gets people where they need to go without clogging the roads with cars and taking limited building spaces for parking lots and parking garages.
