Cheonho Station is a station on the Seoul Subway Line 5 and Line 8. Its secondary name is Pungnaptoseong (hangul: 풍납토성, hanja: 風納土城), referring to the circular earthen wall of the same name that runs between this station and the southeastern end of the Olympic Bridge. In 1994, it has been attacked by a former soldier, with a flamethrower. 50 people died.
