Gangnam Station is a station in the Gangnam district of Seoul, on the Seoul Subway Line 2. As of 2007, it is the busiest subway station in the whole Seoul Metropolitan Subway system, with approximately 123,000 daily passengers using it on average.^[1]

The area surrounding the station is an important commercial and entertainment district. The station is located at the western end of Teheranno, home to many corporate headquarters and impressive towers, while the area immediately to the north of the station is densely packed with bars, restaurants and clubs. There are also many shops in the subway station below ground.

This station serves as a crucial transfer point between Line 2 and buses to all over Seoul and southern Gyeonggi province. In addition, it is planned to become the northern terminus of the Sin Bundang Line in a few years, and construction linking this station to Jeongja Station has already begun.
