Station name subtitles are a method of displaying the name of the institution together below the existing station name sign (in parentheses) to help easily locate nearby facilities around the railway station.

The target stations include 65 stations: 23 on the Gyeongbu Line, 16 on the Gyeongin Line, 13 on the Gyeongwon Line, 8 on the Ansan Line, and 5 on the Gyeongui-Jungang Line in the metropolitan subway network.

The conditions for using station name subtitles require that the selected institution be a public institution, university, hospital, or other multi-use facility near the station, and must not violate public morals or face opposition from local residents.

KORAIL plans to select one institution per station through document screening related to accessibility, public interest, preference, and price evaluation, as well as gathering opinions from local governments and review by internal and external expert committees including the National Railroad Corporation and academic societies.

The selected station names will be displayed from July for 1 to 3 years according to the contract period on entrance signs, platform guidance signs, and will also be announced on train broadcasts.
