History

During the First Sino-Japanese War, there was a fierce battle in Seonghwan which Japan emerged victorious, thus making the place significant. When the Gyeongbu Line opened in 1905, the government appoints higher-ranking officials as the stationmaster of Seonghwan Station.^[5]

In January 20, 2005, it began operating as a subway station. In June 2006, Namseoul University, which was located nearby, successfully won a bid to have its name placed as the station's secondary name, and it paid a usage fee of 35 million won.^[6]
