Gulbongsan Station
Before the station's upgrade to a double-track system, Mugunghwa trains made several stops daily. However, following the completion of the double-track upgrade on December 21, 2010, the station was renamed Gulbongsan Station, and Mugunghwa trains were replaced by commuter trains. Consequently, Mugunghwa trains no longer stop at the station.
Naming
The original Seocheon Station was located at 230 Seocheon-ri, Namsan-myeon, Chuncheon-gun. However, due to the existence of another station with the same name, Seocheon station in Seocheon, South Chungcheong Province, there was potential for confusion. To avoid this, and since the station is situated between Gyeonggi and Gangwon Provinces, it was renamed Gyeonggang station (Gyeonggi + Gangwon), symbolizing the meeting point of the two provinces.
In 2010, with the expansion of the Seoul Metropolitan Subway, the station was renamed to Gulbongsan Station, referring to its proximity to the Bongsan Caves, located 395 meters above sea level.
