[edit] History
Sungkyunkwan University Station opened on February 1, 1979, under the name of Yuljeon Station (율전역/栗田驛), a name taken from the dong in which it is located. Five years later, on January 1, 1984, it was renamed Seongdae-ap Station (성대앞역/成大앞驛), taking its name as an abbreviated form of the nearby Sungkyunkwan University campus. It was only on December 1, 1994 that it took its current full name of Sungkyunkwan University Station.
[edit] Services
The first train of the day weekdays (not including national holidays) is at 5.18 a.m. northbound and 5.33 a.m. southbound, while the last is at 11.57 p.m. northbound and 12.18 a.m. southbound. Northbound trains have various destinations. Some terminate at Guro, others at Seoul Station, some at Dongmyo, others at Cheongnyangni, while some continue as far as Seongbuk. None, however, continue beyond Seongbuk, so if travel beyond is required, it is necessary to change trains. Some southbound trains terminate at Byeongjeom, while the remainder continue to Cheonan.
