The Samgakji area was made famous in Korea because of a 1967 song by Bae Ho titled "Return to Samgakji." A statue dedicated to the song was erected in front of the station.^[3]

Line 4 has two-sided, two-track, opposite-side platforms, while Line 6 is equipped with a single-sided, two-track island platform. Both lines have screen doors installed on their respective platforms. In the case of Line 4, it was possible to cross the other side via a transit passageway, but this has recently been changed to allow for cross-platform crossing. There are 14 exits.
