History

The station opened on July 1, 1922, and the station building was moved to its present location on July 25, 1969.[1]

On August 10, 2000, Gwangju station was disconnected from the Gyeongjeon Line when a southern bypass between Hyocheon and Songjeong-ri (today Gwangju Songjeong station) was opened. The section between Songjeong-ri and Gwangju remained in use as the Gwangju Line, a spur with Gwangju station as its terminal station.

Gwangju station was opened on July 1, 1922 as a regular station in Daein-dong, Gwangju, and served as an important transportation role for Kwang-si until April 1, 2004. Currently, KTX operation is in charge of Gwangju Songjeong station, and Gwangju station is running the Saemaeul-ho and Mugunghwa-ho trip service.[1]
