[Muan＝Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Oh Hwan-joo] Muan County, Jeollanam-do, has decided to name the new railway station being constructed as part of the Honam High-Speed Railway Phase 2 (Gomagwon?Mokpo) project as "Muan Gonghang Station."

According to the county on the 17th, to establish the name of the new railway station, residents' opinions on the station name were collected through various methods such as the website, mail, and fax for 12 days from the 14th to the 25th of last month.

Based on the collected opinions, the county selected "Muan Gonghang Station" as the station name through a resolution by the members of the county's place name committee in early November and conveyed the result to the Korea Rail Network Authority.

A county official stated, "Muan Gonghang Station is planned to be installed near the well-known Muan International Airport, including the administrative district name of Muan and the airport," adding, "It was selected as the new station name because it has a clear connection to the Muan area and is easy for anyone to understand and pronounce."

Meanwhile, the name of the newly established station will be finally decided after review and resolution by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport's Station Name Deliberation Committee.
