Gwangjin-gu to Rename Ttukseom Yuwon Station

Station Name Contest from August 1 to 18... Any Gwangjin-gu Resident Can Submit Proposals

Renaming Ttukseom Amusement Park to Ttukseom Hangang Park and Confusion with Ttukseom Station

Residents Requested Station Name Revision Following 2008 Integration of Noyu-dong into Jayang-dong

Gwangjin-gu (Mayor Kim Kyung-ho) is holding a contest to rename the Ttukseom Amusement Park Station on Subway Line 7 from August 1 to 18.

In the 1980s, with the development of the Hangang River, Hangang Park was created, and the place name changed from Ttukseom Amusement Park to Ttukseom Hangang Park. However, to promote Hangang Park, the current station name, Ttukseom Amusement Park Station, was designated in 1997.

Now, 26 years later, the name Ttukseom Amusement Park has changed to Ttukseom Hangang Park, and with the 2008 integration of Noyu-dong into Jayang-dong, residents have requested a station name revision. Additionally, the similarity between this station name and Ttukseom Station on Subway Line 2 has caused confusion and inconvenience for residents. Due to ongoing requests for change, a new station name contest has been decided.

Any Gwangjin-gu resident can submit proposals, whether suggesting a new station name or expressing opinions to keep the current name. To participate, visit the district office website, take part in the survey, or fill out the contest form and submit it directly to the Transportation Administration Division or send it via email.

Secondary station names will be excluded from the candidates, and names that are variable, already used in other regions, or could cause disputes or controversies will be excluded from the station name selection.

The candidates will be selected based on the most frequently proposed names, and residents' opinions will be gathered through a survey. The final station name will be confirmed after procedures including review by the Place Name Committee.

Kim Kyung-ho, Mayor of Gwangjin-gu, said, “We hope for active interest and participation from residents in the renaming of Ttukseom Amusement Park Station,” adding, “We will continue to communicate with residents to resolve inconveniences and long-standing issues one by one.”
