[edit]

On September 18, 1899, after the opening of the Gyeongin Line, which signaled the start of Korean railways, the operation began with the establishment of Juan Station on October 21, 1910. After the opening of the Gyeongin Line double track and the opening of the metropolitan subway, a new onboard station was built in 1978, and an underground station was completed in 1989. It is a two-story shipboard station with a reinforced concrete slab roof with an ancillary building of 25.7 square meters on a scale of 549.7 square meters. In 2016, Incheon Metro Line 2 was opened and became a transfer station. As it is located in the center of Incheon, it is characterized not only by its proximity to public facilities and commercial days, but also by a well-developed transportation network such as roads and buses.
