Martina Gold Lounge - Menu and Affiliated Credit Cards Guide. Trying Entry for 2 or 3 Companions. (Feat. the One-Man-Won Happiness, Kookmin Heritage Smart/Reserve)

Hello.

This is Dr. Baek, the head of Levu Dental Clinic, a utopia in the dental field.

The start of the November 2025 Bali trip.

I’m going to make this a brief post about the Martina Gold Lounge at Incheon Airport Terminal 2. Even when I travel in business class, I tend to use Martina Gold, simply because it’s naturally tastier and more comfortable!

Martina Gold, Incheon Airport Terminal 2

As a Korean Air lover who is aiming for Korean Air Morning Calm Premier status (still a long way off for now), I try to use Korean Air whenever possible. Because of that, I end up using the Terminal 2 Martina Gold Lounge almost every time.

First of all, the wait is short and the seats are comfortable. The price is $55.

Of course, the food quality is better too, but the Martina Lounge is also quite good.

Personally, I think it may be Walkerhill’s masterpiece...

This beloved Martina Gold Lounge. There seem to have been three main ways to enter.

1. Get a credit card that allows entry to Martina Lounge, receive a coupon in the The Lounge app, and then use the "One-Man-Won Happiness" option to pay only an additional 10,000 won and enter!

** Based on my experience, if you use the Shinhan Marriott Bonvoy The Best card and enter with 2 companions, both people can enter by paying 20,000 won!

2. Each person gets a credit card that provides Martina Gold benefits.

** There aren’t many of these these days, right? If you have the Hyundai The First Edition 1 card I have (my favorite for anyone who loves Korean Air...) and the Kookmin Heritage Smart card, you can enter the Martina Gold Lounge.

** If you have the Kookmin Heritage Smart card, get a family card. There’s no annual fee, and if you meet the monthly spending requirement, each cardholder can enter individually!

3. Use a premium credit card that lets companions enter Martina Gold without an additional fee.

** If you use the Hana Club 1 card, entry is free for up to 3 companions. Also, the Club 1 card’s family card can separately allow up to 3 companions as well, so in theory up to 8 people can enter (!) Of course, top-tier credit cards from other card companies may also work!

** If you use the Kookmin Heritage "Reserve" card, you can enter up to 9 times a year, and it allows up to 2 companions.

In other words, for a family of three with one child, the Kookmin Heritage Reserve card is a good option (!? But I haven’t tried it..)

On the left are the benefits of the older version of the Hyundai Card Korean Air Card The First. You can visit Martina Gold Lounge five times a year.

On the right are the benefits of the Kookmin Heritage Reserve card. It allows nine visits a year, with up to two companions.

For reference, the Kookmin Heritage Smart card uses Master World benefits, so you need to bring the physical card.

(Of course, since all the cards above offer strong special earning rates when used overseas, I carry them all anyway.)

I’ve gone on long enough. Once you enter, this spacious area is simply so lovely.

It was a departure in November... and it was truly the definition of relaxation. These days, it seems like there’s a One-Man-Won Happiness event - during that time, there are quite a lot of people. Haha. Sometimes there’s even a line...

We found a good seat, captured my happy companion in a photo, and kept it as a memory. You can tell there aren’t many people, right?!

Now it’s time to look at the menu... Martina Gold Lounge is famous for its snacks. The fried items are plentiful and excellent. Good, good.

The sundae is also surprisingly packed and tasty.

Since it’s snacks, tteokbokki has to be there too, right? The soup-style tteokbokki is outstanding. It tastes really good~~~

There’s a really wide variety here, not quite hotel-buffet level, but still quite impressive. Arancini at an airport lounge... who would have thought.

You can also see roasted vegetables and mushrooms.

And on the left is cream shrimp. The right is buffalo chicken... isn’t that a bit unfair. This is the kind of place where you keep eating until you’re truly full...

On the left is hamburger steak, and on the right is fried rice.. The fried rice is really stir-fried better than expected and tastes great!!!!

There’s also a fairly large salad corner. Personally, I don’t really like salad.... but there are various salads so you can enjoy them according to your taste (!) Oh, I see there was yeolmu kimchi too...

This place is serious about side dishes that go with rice too. There’s a warm and spicy soup... (if you mix it with rice, it’s basically gukbap)

There’s also hayashi rice, so you can enjoy it however you like. At this point, this lounge is a place you should visit every time you travel.

The Korean side dishes were also prepared with items that Korean people would likely enjoy. The menu changes a little each time I go, but the categories are mostly the same.

And in one corner, there are plenty of cup noodles that we all like, from Shin Ramyun to Buldak Bokkeummyeon. You can also pour yourself coffee, and if you turn around, there’s draft beer too, so you can enjoy a generous meal and drinks before your flight.

It would be disappointing if the alcohol selection were weak, right? Haha. There are wines prepared in various colors too (probably tastier than Korean Air’s wine..)

There’s also a really wide and thoughtful selection of soft drinks. I always drink cola and cider. Haha.

(And now that I look again, there are mixed nuts in the corner too.)

And it’s also unexpectedly serious about dessert. There are small cakes, cheesecake, madeleines, macarons, cream puffs, and more....

There’s also chocolate and jelly beans. At this point, it’s not something to envy even in many four-star hotel buffets.

There was fruit prepared too. There are green grapes and purple grapes (probably domestic green grapes like Shine Muscat and Kyoho grapes), and tangerines too. If you’re lucky, you can also try cherries. I end up eating about ten each time.

So I returned after setting up a feast... If you keep eating this and that, you really end up eating without realizing how full you are.

When you first board after reserving a Korean Air business class seat, the food served in business class is really tasty. Bibimbap is usually served, and it is indeed good. It’s an experience worth trying two or three times.. But to be honest, I think the Martina Gold food is tastier. Haha. So these days, when I travel, I just hang around here before leaving....

Since this is a place Walkerhill provides with surprisingly good quality, before your trip, make smart use of your credit card and enjoy a pleasant meal and time!

Since the One-Man-Won Happiness event is going on, don’t go to the Martina Lounge; invest a little and come here instead~~

Thank you for reading such a long post today.

That’s the daily life of Dr. Baek, head of the dental clinic!!
