History

The location of Cheonan–Asan was finalised on June 14, 1993, though construction did not begin until July 22, 1996. The planned name of "Onyangoncheon" was changed to "Cheonan–Asan" on November 20, 2003, and the station building was completed on March 27 the following year. The station opened for business four days later, on April 1, 2004.[3][4]

On March 30, 2007, Asan station was opened as a transfer station on the Janghang Line, soon to be integrated into the latest extension of Line 1 of the Seoul Subway.[4][3]

Services

Cheonan–Asan station serves select KTX trains on the Gyeongbu High Speed Railway and Honam High Speed Railway lines. (KTX services calling at Suwon do not pass through Cheonan–Asan, and not all KTX trains that do pass through will stop at this station).
