Seoul Subway Line 7 of the Seoul Metropolitan Rapid Transit Corporation
was built 1990-96 (Jangam-Konkuk Univ.) and was completed 1 August 2000 (central section 17 km. Konkuk University to Sinpung); the western section between Sinpung and Onsu was put into service on 29 February 2000. This north-south line does not run through the city centre but links Gangnam directly to the northern parts of town.

of Line 7 and ending at Bupyeong-gu Office Station
