## Metro Services

### Seoul Metro Line 2

The principal Line 2 service operates around Seoul’s circular route.

Trains travelling west through Ttukseom continue towards Wangsimni, Dongdaemun History & Culture Park, City Hall, Hongik University and Sindorim.

Trains travelling east through Konkuk University continue towards Jamsil, Samseong, Seolleung, Gangnam and other destinations around the southern side of the loop.

Because Line 2 is circular, both directions eventually reach many of the same stations. Choosing the shorter direction can substantially reduce travel time, so check the route diagram before boarding.

### Seongsu Branch Line

Seongsu Station is the southern terminus of the Line 2 branch to Sinseol-dong.

Branch trains serve Yongdap, Sindap and Yongdu before reaching Sinseol-dong, where passengers can transfer to Line 1 and the Ui-Sinseol Line.

Branch trains use separate tracks from the main circular service. Check the destination display carefully to avoid boarding the wrong train.

## Platforms and Transfers

Seongsu Station has elevated island platforms serving four tracks.

The main Line 2 circular route and the Sinseol-dong branch operate from different platform tracks. Depending on the arriving train and required connection, passengers may be able to transfer across the platform or may need to use stairs and the concourse.

Follow the signs for City Hall, Jamsil or Sinseol-dong rather than relying only on the Line 2 colour.

## Station Entrances

Seongsu Station has four numbered exits arranged near the eastern and western ends of the elevated station.

Exits 1 and 2 serve the northern side of Achasan-ro, including residential buildings, local businesses and streets extending towards the northern section of Seongsu-dong.

Exits 3 and 4 lead towards the commercial and former industrial areas south of the station. These exits are generally convenient for many of the cafés, restaurants, fashion stores and pop-up venues associated with the Seongsu district.

Individual businesses can be spread across several blocks, so visitors should check the address of their destination before selecting an exit.

## Seongsu Café and Shopping District

Seongsu has developed from a light-industrial and handmade-shoe district into one of Seoul’s best-known café, fashion and design neighbourhoods.

Converted warehouses and workshops now contain cafés, bakeries, restaurants, galleries, shops and temporary brand exhibitions. Older factories and specialist businesses remain throughout the area, giving the neighbourhood a mixture of industrial and modern architecture.

Popular venues change frequently, and temporary pop-up shops may operate for only a limited period. Visitors travelling to a particular business should confirm its current address and opening hours.

## Seoul Forest and Nearby Areas

Seoul Forest lies southwest of Seongsu Station and can be reached by walking through the surrounding neighbourhood. However, Seoul Forest Station on the Suin–Bundang Line is generally more convenient for direct access to the park.

Ttukseom Station may also provide a shorter route to some western sections of Seongsu-dong. Konkuk University Station serves the shopping, dining and entertainment district farther east.

## Buses and Taxis

Local buses operate along Achasan-ro and nearby streets, providing connections to surrounding parts of Seongdong-gu and eastern Seoul.

Stops for opposite directions are positioned on different sides of the main road. Check the route number and destination before leaving the station.

Taxis can usually be found along Achasan-ro, although pickup may be difficult during busy periods.

## Station Facilities

Seongsu Station provides ticket machines, transport-card facilities, toilets, elevators, escalators and convenience services.

The platforms are elevated rather than underground. Step-free access is available through designated routes, although passengers should follow elevator signs carefully.
