Quick answer
From Hongdae (Hongik Univ.) or Seoul Station, take AREX one stop to Gongdeok. From Myeongdong, take Line 4 two stops to Seoul Station, then AREX one stop. From Yeouido, take Line 5 three stops to Gongdeok. At Gongdeok, use Exit 4 and walk about 5 minutes north along Mapo-daero.
From Hongdae
Hongik University Station is on AREX. Ride one stop to Gongdeok. You can also take Line 2 and transfer, but AREX is the simplest.

Take AREX (all-stop) one stop to Gongdeok. Don't board the Express to the airport, which doesn't stop at Gongdeok.

From Yeouido
Line 5 from Yeouido toward Gongdeok: Yeouinaru, Mapo, then Gongdeok. About 10 minutes.
