Yongsan Station is a major railway station in the Yongsan District of Seoul, South Korea. The station adjoins the Yongsan Electronics Market. The station is the terminus for high-speed and long-distance trains on a number of railway lines, including most trains on the Honam Line, its high-speed counterpart, and all trains on the Janghang and Jeolla Lines.
Prior to 2004, all long-distance trains serving Seoul terminated at the nearby Seoul Station, but with the opening of the Korea Train Express (KTX), Yongsan Station took over some of Seoul's services. On February 28, 2012, ITX-Cheongchun trains began service between this station and Chuncheon station on the Gyeongchun Line. Yongsan station is also served by metro rail on Line 1 and the Gyeongui–Jungang Line on the Seoul Metropolitan Subway.
The station is scheduled to become a transfer station with the Shinbundang Line in 2025. Once the Shinbundang Line station at Yongsan becomes operational, Yongsan Station will become connected with Sinyongsan Station on Line 4.
