Chang-dong Station is a station on Seoul Subway Line 1 and Line 4. It is located in Chang-dong, Dobong District, Seoul, South Korea. A shopping center was planned for this site, but the empty lot has never been developed due to the bankruptcy of the contractor behind said project.[citation needed] The station is, however, home to a cluster of pojangmacha stalls.
