Soyosan station

Soyosan station (Korean소요산역; Hanja逍遙山驛; RRSoyosan-yeok) is a ground-level metro station on Line 1 of the Seoul Subway in Sangbongam Dong, Dongducheon, South Korea. It is named after the nearby Soyosan (587 m), a mountain beside the U.S. Army base Camp Casey. It is on this mountain, at the Jajae'am Hermitage, that the Buddhist Saint Wonhyo is said to have reached enlightenment.

The ground level station was closed on December 15, 2023 at the last train, and the new elevated station opened the next day, as part of the Yeoncheon extension. This eliminated the tedious grade crossing that surrounded the rail entrance to the station.

The station opened for business on January 11, 1976, and the station building was completed on September 21, 1982. This building was closed twenty-four years later, on May 7, 2006, and a temporary building erected in its place. Meanwhile, Line 1 of the Seoul Subway was being extended north through the city of Dongducheon, and Soyosan became its northern terminus, with a new station building completed, on December 15, 2006.
