Korean buses are useful, but they can feel stressful when you are not sure where to get off. The stop names may move quickly, and some routes pass through neighborhoods that look similar.
You do not need a long conversation. A few short phrases can help you confirm your stop and avoid riding too far.

Ask before you panic

If you are unsure, ask early. It is easier to ask when the bus is not already stopping. You can show the destination on your phone and use one simple question.

Who to ask

You can ask the driver when boarding if the bus is stopped and the situation is calm. During the ride, it may be easier to ask another passenger nearby. Show your phone screen with the destination; that reduces misunderstanding.

Listen for 정류장

정류장 means bus stop. Announcements may say 이번 정류장은, meaning "This stop is..." and 다음 정류장은, meaning "The next stop is..." Even if you miss the full name, recognizing 이번 and 다음 helps.

The phrase that saves the ride

For bus travel, remember "여기서 내려요?" It is short, direct, and useful when you are nervous. Add your phone map, and many people will understand exactly what you need.
