Chang-dong Station is a station on Seoul Subway Line 1 and Line 4. It is located in Chang-dong, Dobong-gu, Seoul. A shopping center was planned for this site, but the empty lot has never been developed due to the bankruptcy of the contractor behind said project. The station is, however, home to a cluster of pojangmacha stalls.

History

Chang-dong Station was opened on October 15, 1911 as part of the first segment of the Gyeongwon Line. The Line 4 station opened on April 20, 1985, while Line 1 service was extended northwards from Seongbuk Station (now Kwangwoon University Station) to Chang-dong Station on December 22, 1985.
