Q. What is a Busan public late-night pharmacy? |
A public late-night pharmacy is a pharmacy that stays open after regular hours so you can buy medicine and receive guidance from a pharmacist on how to take it properly.
At the moment, Busan’s public late-night pharmacies total 19 locationsin all.
Most operate from 10 p.m. to 1 a.m. the next day, while Yeongju Pharmacy, 365 Hana Pharmacy, and Tuntun Pharmacy run from 9 p.m. to midnight.
“Busan night pharmacy” and “Busan 24-hour pharmacy” are not the same thing
This is the key point to watch for: a public late-night pharmacy does not mean it’s open 24 hours.
In Busan’s current official list of public late-night pharmacies, the latest closing time is 1 a.m. the next dayso if you’re looking for a pharmacy after midnight, check first that it’s one of the locations open until 01:00.
What time is it right now? Here’s how it breaks down by time slot

|
Q. How can I check if a pharmacy is actually open today? |
Even if a pharmacy is designated as a public late-night pharmacy, it may still have a temporary closure or a change in hours. That’s why the safest approach is to check in this order before heading out.
|
1 |
Call the pharmacy directly This is the fastest and most accurate option. |
|
2 |
Check E-Gen On E-Gen (www.e-gen.or.kr), you can use the hospital and pharmacy finder to search based on your current location and date. |
|
3 |
Call 119 Busan also directs people to 119 for pharmacy operating-hour information. |
This matters even more during holidays and public holidays, when hours may differ from the usual schedule. Rather than relying only on what a map app shows, I recommend confirming once more by phone or through E-Gen.
|
Checklist before going to a pharmacy late at night Make sure the pharmacy is open at the current time (if it’s after midnight, it must be one of the pharmacies open until 01:00) Call ahead to confirm it’s open before leaving Keep a note of any medications you already take and any allergies If it’s medicine for a child, know the child’s age and weight Check whether the medicine requires a prescription If symptoms are severe or it feels like an emergency, call 119 instead of going to a pharmacy |

Frequently asked questions about Busan night pharmacy options |
Pharmacy use guidelines
Q. Are there any 24-hour pharmacies in Busan?
“Public late-night pharmacy” does not mean a 24-hour pharmacy. In Busan’s current official list, most locations operate from 10 p.m. to 1 a.m. the next day, while a few close at midnight. So if you searched for “Busan 24-hour pharmacy” and landed here, the most accurate next step is to search E-Gen again based on the current time to find a pharmacy that is actually open.
Q. Which pharmacy in Gwangalli is open until 1 a.m.?
Based on the latest official Busan city data, Suyeong-gu’s public late-night pharmacy is Sejong Pharmacy. It’s located in front of the Gwangalli Beach intersection, and its public late-night hours are 22:00–01:00.
Q. Which pharmacies can I use late at night in Haeundae?
Haeundae-gu’s public late-night pharmacies are Centum Hongeun Pharmacy and 365 Hana Pharmacy. Centum Hongeun Pharmacy is open until 1 a.m., while 365 Hana Pharmacy on the second floor of LCT is designated for public late-night service until midnight.
Q. What medicine can I buy without a prescription?
Just because a pharmacy is open doesn’t mean every medication can be purchased without a prescription. Over-the-counter medicine can be bought with guidance from the pharmacist, but prescription-only medication still requires a doctor’s prescription.
Q. Is medicine more expensive late at night?
For prescription dispensing, additional fees may apply during weekday nights, Saturdays, Sundays, and public holidays depending on the relevant dispensing charges.

Helpful practical info to know while traveling in Gwangalli |
When you travel, practical information like this can matter just as much as restaurant picks or sightseeing tips.
Sometimes you feel fine during the day, then suddenly get a headache at night, start feeling sick after swimming, or need digestive medicine after a late dinner.
If you’re staying in Gwangalli, Sejong Pharmacyand the E-Gen pharmacy finder are two things worth remembering.
And if your symptoms feel too serious to handle with over-the-counter medicine, or you think it may be an emergency, it’s better to call 119 or go to an emergency medical facility instead of looking for a late-night pharmacy.
