Exit 2 of Cheolsan Station had been closed since February for escalator replacement work. Gwangmyeong City explained that while the reopening was originally scheduled for September 7, it was moved up by about 20 days for an early reopening.

In conjunction with the reopening, the city installed a rain shelter outside the entrance to ensure convenience and safety for citizens. This exit, which is the most frequently used among the four exits of Cheolsan Station due to the concentration of bus stops nearby, had raised concerns about safety accidents during sudden heavy rains. The city noted that this is the first time a rain shelter has been installed outside a subway entrance among the 768 stations in the Seoul metropolitan area.

The city also provided “honesty umbrellas” inside the station, allowing citizens to use them for free. Used umbrellas should be returned to the designated storage area after use.

Park Seungwon, Mayor of Gwangmyeong, stated, “We will continue to pay close attention and promote various projects so that citizens can use public transportation more conveniently and safely in the future.”
