[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Ju Cheol-in] The long-awaited project in the Yangsan area, the KTX stop at Mulgeum Station, has been confirmed.

On the 12th, Yoon Young-seok, a member of the People Power Party, announced that after consultations with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, Korail, and the Korea Rail Network Authority, the KTX stop at Mulgeum Station is expected to be implemented as early as the beginning of next year.

Accordingly, the city and the Korea Rail Network Authority will begin facility improvements such as expanding the platform to accommodate the KTX stop at Mulgeum Station.

Yangsan City has been promoting the KTX stop at Mulgeum Station since 2013, citing reasons such as population growth.

Once the KTX stop at Mulgeum Station is in place, it will take 2 hours and 43 minutes to reach Seoul Station, and the daily number of passengers using Mulgeum Station is expected to approximately double.

Representative Yoon said, “There were difficulties in realizing the KTX stop at Mulgeum Station, but it was possible thanks to the active cooperation of Mayor Kim Il-gwon and the staff in charge,” adding, “We will strive to make Yangsan a transportation hub with access in all directions, to revitalize the economy, create abundant jobs, and ensure the happiness of Yangsan citizens.”
