Yongsan Station is a major railway station in Seoul, South Korea. It is located in Yongsan-gu, and 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, and all trains on the Janghang and Jeolla Lines.
Prior to 2004, all long-distance trains serving Seoul terminated at nearby Seoul Station, but with the opening of the Korea Train Express (KTX), Yongsan Station took over some of Seoul's services.
Yongsan Station is also served by Seoul Subway Line 1 and Yongsan-Deokso Line.
In 2004, a major movie theater was opened adjacent to the station. In August 2006, the whole station building was made into a large department store, called IPark Mall.
The building now includes the train station, subway station, the CGV movie theatre, several restaurants and shops as well as housing the first bulding of Yongsan Electronics Market. There is a bridge connecting IPark Mall and the Yongsan Electronics Market.
