The Dongtan-Indeogwon Line is a double-track railway with a total length of 37.1 km, connecting Dongtan in Hwaseong to Indeogwon in Anyang via Suwon, Yongin, and Uiwang.

The purpose of this study is to investigate whether it is possible to increase the number of entrances and exits by reflecting residents' demands on the station plan established by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport and others, whether a Meta Station within Dongtan 1 District can be additionally designated as an express station besides Dongtan Station, and to examine measures against residents' inconveniences such as noise. The study will be conducted until June next year.

Based on the results of the study, the city plans to request changes to the plan from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport and the Korea Rail Network Authority in the second half of next year.

Kim Jin-gwan, head of Hwaseong City's Transportation Project Team, said, "Once the study results are out, we will actively consult with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, the Korea Rail Network Authority, and others to ensure they are reflected."

Meanwhile, once the Dongtan-Indeogwon Line is completed, it is expected that travel time from Dongtan Station to Indeogwon will be about 40 minutes, improving the metropolitan transportation conditions in the southwestern region of the Seoul metropolitan area.
