This station has low ridership due to its location, but is noted for its impressive interior design. It has five underground levels, and a glass dome on top of the building lets in sunlight which permeates throughout the station.[2] In addition to being featured in Korean movies and dramas, weddings could be held there at no cost for a few years after opening.[3][4] The embassy of the Philippines in South Korea is close to this station. Namsan lies just to the north, a 20-minute walk from the station.[citation needed]
