While Seoul Station mainly operates trains heading to Gyeongsang-do or North Chungcheong Province (bound for Busan, Masan, Jinju, Pohang, and Jecheon), Yongsan Station operates trains bound for Jeolla-do or the West Coast (bound for Mokpo, Gwangju, Yeosu Expo, and Iksan). What many foreign travelers are confused about in Seoul is where to take the train between Seoul Station and Yongsan Station. You can go to places you cannot go to from Seoul Station from Yongsan Station, and vice versa, so you always need to be careful.
