Yongsan Station

A major Seoul rail hub for KTX and conventional services toward the Honam, Jeolla and Janghang corridors, with Seoul Subway Line 1 and the Gyeongui-Jungang Line.

Why it matters now

The KTX/SRT practical guide explicitly warns visitors not to treat 'Seoul' as one station. Yongsan is the key KORAIL counterpart to Seoul Station for many Honam/Jeolla trips.

Why go

Use it when a southwestern KORAIL itinerary fits better than Seoul Station; choosing the correct Seoul departure station can save a cross-city transfer.
