Jonggak Station (종각역) is a station on the Seoul Subway Line 1, located on Jongno, central Seoul. Jonggak Station is one of the stations with large underground arcade.
The second largest book shop in South Korea, the Bandi And Lunis, lying under the Jongno Tower just above this station, is directly accessible from the station.
On every new year's day, the bell ceremony (Jeyaeui Jong Tajongsik) is held at Boshingak the bell pavilion (the name of the station comes from this pavilion; Jong meaning bell and gak pavilion). At those times the area is so crowded with tens of thousands of Seoulites, so the trains do not stop at Jonggak Station to avoid any accidents.
