If you are very lucky to arrive Incheon airport at “good times”, you can catch a KTX train to get to Seoul station (KTX trains depart at the airport only 10 times a day, and you may have to wait up to 3 hours for the next train).
Although not the smartest way to leave the airport (unless you’re traveling not to Seoul, but to other South Korean cities), it’s still an affordable and a pretty quick way to reach central Seoul.
