History

The Suin Line, and thus Eocheon Station, began operation on August 5, 1937, though the current building was not completed till October 2, 1975. Since the Suin Line ceased operations at the end of 1995, the building had fallen into a state of disrepair.

Future

A new Suin Line, an integral part of the Seoul Metropolitan Subway, in currently under construction. It will incorporate a new Eocheon Station, which is due to open in 2016.
