The name Gyeongin refers to the Seoul-Incheon corridor in South Korea, and is used as the name of the Gyeongin railway line and Gyeongin Expressway, both of which link Seoul--the South Korean capital and largest city--to nearby Incheon--the second-largest port and fourth-largest city. The name "Gyeongin" is formed from the first characters in the names "Gyeongseong" (the Korean form of the former Japanese name for Seoul) and "Incheon."
