What time does the Seoul subway system open in the morning?
A friend of mine at my hostel here in Seoul needs to get to Gimpo Airport in the morning and is asking what time the subway system commences operation.
I've looked at the Wikitravel page for Seoul and the Wikipedia page for the Seoul Metro, but this information is proving a little difficult to find.

While the operation starts from 05:30 to 24:00 approximately, the actual timetable differs among different stations. You can check out each station's timetable at the official subway website, for example in the case of Dongdaemun.
On weekday, First train starts 05:19 (down) or 05:31 (up), and Last train starts 24:49 (down) or 24:58 (up).
