Template:Koreanname image Yongsan Station is a major railway station in Seoul, South Korea. It is located in Yongsan-gu, and adjoins the Yongsan Electronics Market. The station is the terminus for high-speed and long-distance trains on a number of railway lines, including most trains on the Honam Line, and all trains on the Janghang and Jeolla Lines.

Prior to 2004, all long-distance trains serving Seoul terminated at nearby Seoul Station, but with the opening of the Korea Train Express (KTX), Yongsan Station took over some of Seoul's services.

Yongsan Station is also served by Seoul Subway Line 1 and Yongsan-Deokso Line.

In 2004, a major movie theater was opened adjacent to the station.

There is an electronics shopping center and food court separate from the Yongsan Electronics Market, called I Park Mall, which is also joined with the movie theater. There is a bridge connecting I Park Mall and the Yongsan Electronics Market.
