Seonghwan Station is a subway station in the province of Chungcheongnam-do. It is located north of Cheonan on the Gyeongbu Line. It is also served by services on Seoul Subway Line 1.

History

During the First Sino-Japanese War, there was a fierce battle in Seonghwan which Japan emerged victorious, thus making the place significant. When the Gyeongbu Line opened in 1905, the government appoints higher-ranking officials as the stationmaster of Seonghwan Station.

In January 20, 2005, it began operating as a subway station. In June 2006, Namseoul University, which was located nearby, successfully won a bid to have its name placed as the station's secondary name, and it paid a usage fee of 35 million won.
