Most of the major cities in South Korea have an express bus to Cheongju. There are two major bus stations:

Cheongju Express Bus Terminal
for buses to Busan, Daegu, Gwangju and Seoul.
Cheongju Intercity Bus Terminal
for all other cities. Buses to Incheon and Gimpo airports also leave from this terminal. The information center is adjacent to the bus terminal. Make sure you visit here if your Korean is not very good.
