Ok...can anyone suggest how I could travel to Seoul from Daegu with my 4 pieces of luggage, make a quick pit stop to buy something, and then go to the airport?

Can you take a lot of bags on the KTX? Is there a place I could store my bags for a few hours in Seoul?

There is some storage space on KTX. At the end of at least some of the cars, there is a rack area. As for the rest of it, I don't know. It sounds like a big hassle. Good luck.

Why don't you taekbae your big items to the airport ahead of you?

There are lockers in Seoul Station but they are usually snapped up pretty quickly.

why don't you just fly to daegu, its not much more money plus its easier and quicker to get to Gimpo from ICN. Plus you can check your bags and not worry about this stuff. You'll save like 2-3 hours min doing this

takbae is like a cheapo Korean fedex service. In all honesty though, if the shopping trip isnt urgent, flying from Daegu would make your life far easier.
