Hankuk University of Foreign Studies station
Hankuk University of Foreign Studies Station is a station on Line 1 of the Gyeongwon Line.
The original name of this station was Hwigyeong Station, although this station is located in Imun 1-dong. Because Hoegi Station is located in Hwigyeong-dong, in 1996, the name of this station was changed to Hankuk University of Foreign Studies Station, after a nearby eponymous university. Originally the station was built on a 4-way crossroad layout. However in 2012, due to a series of accidents and safety concerns, a tunnel was built under the track for road traffic alongside an above ground pedestrian walkway. Despite this, the ground level crossing remains to this day.
