The Line 3 platforms are one of four aboveground stations on Line 3 (The others are Jichuk, Wondang, and Daegok). The Gyeongui–Jungang line part was recently renovated with a glass-covered top which lets in sunlight. It has a view of the Han River and is often seen in movies and advertisements. The 2011 manhwa webtoon Oksu Station Ghost and its 2022 movie adaptation[6] are set at the Line 3 platforms.
