History
Seojeong-ri Station opened with the Gyeongbu Line in 1905 to service the agricultural area between Pyeongtaek and Osan. It featured Bidulgi (4th class) and limited Tongil (3rd class) services. These were eventually phased out in favor of limited Mugunghwa (then 2nd class) services in the 1990s and 2000s (decade). On January 20, 2005, Seoul Subway Line 1 started local and express services and in 2010 the new Nooriro class of commuter trains began service to Seoul Station, Yongsan, Anyang, Suwon, Osan, Pyeongtaek and Cheonan.

Located near the station are many shops and vendors. Official plans for a "new city" have been announced.
