Sinseol-dong Station Ghost Platform [신설동역 유령 승강장], built in 1972, was planned as a one-track platform for Seoul Subway Line 2 on the B3 Floor of Sinseol-dong Station [신설동역]. However, due to flooding, it was never used and left untouched since then (with its exposed concrete and without tiles or other finishing material) as the platform for Line 2 was transferred to the B2 Floor. In the 1990s, it was briefly opened for visits, and in 2017, the Seoul Metro decided to open the platform for filming.

The station is located in Seoul’s neighborhood Sinseol [Sinseol-dong/신설동] —administered by the neighborhood Yongsin [Yongsin-dong/용신동]— in the Dongdaemun District [Dongdaemun-gu/동대문구].

Please note that this platform is not open to visitors.
