Prior to the opening of Line 9, it was planned to be called Seoritgae Station, but the name was changed due to various reasons posed by local residents.

It is also 1.5 km from Express Bus Terminal Station, where you can transfer to Lines 3 and 7.

The Gubanpo area was never called 'Seoritgae' before and could actually confuse people with Seorae Village nearby.

Seoritgae ends with '-gae'('-개') which stands for 'dog' with may make people think of it as a bad word.

The name has a bad connotation because Seori in Korean means 'to raid on a person's property out of a mischievous motive.
