Munsan station () is a railway station on the Gyeongui–Jungang Line. It is notable for being the closest station on the Seoul Metropolitan Subway to the border with North Korea that is open for passenger service, only a few kilometers away.
History On March 18, 2007, a train from Munsan station entered North Korea for the first time since 1951 under South Korean Unification Minister Lee Jae-joung. Members of the opposition Grand National Party criticized the event as a political stunt.
Services As a regular railway station it is an interim stop between Dorasan station in the Demilitarised Zone and Seoul Station. The tourist train between Seoul and the DMZ Border is currently not in operation, due to concerns about the spread of the outbreak of African swine fever.
The Gyeongui–Jungang Line (Munsan–Imjingang) extension opened on March 28, 2020.
