Jamsil Station is an underground station on Line 2 and Line 8 of the Seoul Metropolitan Subway. Lotte World is continuous with the Line 2 station. The station is also called Songpa-gu Office Station (송파구청역), due to the proximity of the office building (right outside Exit 10 of the Line 8 station).[1]

The Line 2 station is located in Jamsil-dong and the Line 8 station is located in Sincheon-dong. Both neighborhoods are within Songpa-gu, Seoul.

A survey conducted in 2011 by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport on 92 Administrative divisions across the country reported that Jamsil Station is the second-busiest public transit stop after Gangnam Station. It is followed by Sadang Station, Seolleung Station and Sillim Station.[4]

In December 2010 the station had the fourth-highest rate of WiFi data consumption of all the Seoul Metropolitan Subway stations, following Express Bus Terminal Station, Sadang Station, Dongdaemun Station and followed by Jongno 3-ga Station.[5]

In a Seoul Metro analysis in 2024, Jamsil station became the busiest subway station across the Seoul area, surpassing Gangnam station with an average of 155,229 passengers each day on Line 2 over the course of the first four months in 2024.[2][6]
