KTX Ticket Hunter is a paid Windows app I built for rail travelers in South Korea. Set your route, date, time range and passenger count, then monitor KTX seat availability on your PC. PRO can attempt reservations; you complete payment directly with Korail. The demo shows three checks with no available seats and auto-reservation turned off. Tickets are not guaranteed. This is not an official Korail product.
