Seoul (Metropolitan) Subway Line 1 of the Seoul Metropolitan Subway, formerly known as the Korea National Railroad of Seoul, is an operation channel which links central Seoul, South Korea to Soyosan Station in the northeast, Incheon in the southwest, and Sinchang via Suwon in the south. This line covers a large part of the Seoul National Capital Area. The line first opened in 1974 between Seoul Station and Cheongnyangni Station, the only underground portion of the line (7.8 km). Commuter railway service was most recently extended to Sinchang in December 2008.

Frequent service is provided between Soyosan, Dongducheon, Uijeongbu, Cheongnyangni, Seoul, Yongsan, and Guro, where trains split between Incheon in the west and Byeongjeom and Cheonan in the south. Express trains operate from Yongsan and Seoul Stations to Dongincheon and Cheonan stations.

Trains travel along Gyeongbu (Seoul-Cheonan), Gyeongin (Guro-Incheon), Janghang (Cheonan-Sinchang) and Gyeongwon (Hoegi-Soyosan).

In June 2006, Jinwi and Jije Stations opened on the Gyeongbu Line. A further station, which will either be known as Dangjeong Station or Hansei University Station, will be constructed on the same line, between Gunpo and Uiwang Stations. Part of the Gyeongwon Line from Dongducheon (formerly Dongan) to Uijeongbu was merged into Line 1 in December 2006.

Korea's first subway line was constructed with the technical and economic aid of Japan.

In the past, the underground portion of Line 1, run by Seoul Metro, was labeled red. To avoid confusion with the stations run by Korail, the label was changed to dark blue (probably in 2000).

Rapid (Express) trains

Korail operates Rapid Trains (급행전철) for long distance commuter service on Line 1. These comprise the Yongsan-Cheonan (A rapid), Yongsan-Dongincheon, Soyosan-Dongincheon and Seoul-Cheonan rapid (B rapid) trains. Rapid train stations are marked below.
