The Seoul Light Rail Seobu Line is a 16.2 km route connecting Saejeol Station on Seoul Subway Line 6 and Seoul National University Station on Line 2, with a planned opening in 2028.

There are a total of 16 stations, and Seodaemun-gu claims that Station No. 102 was moved about 300 meters from its original location 'in front of Myongji College' to 'near Eungam Elementary School' for unknown reasons.

The district states that after the Korea Development Institute completed the eligibility review (June 19, 2020), and following all related administrative procedures including ▲Seoul City financial plan review (October 28, 2020) ▲Ministry of Strategy and Finance private investment review committee (December 16, 2020) ▲Seoul City Council approval (December 16, 2020), the 'Seobu Line Facility Project Basic Plan' was officially announced on December 28, 2020, confirming 'in front of Myongji College' as the location of Station No. 102, and therefore the station should be restored to this original location.
