'''Hongik University station''' ({{Korean|hangul=홍대입구역}}) is a station on [[Seoul Subway Line 2]], [[AREX]] and the [[Gyeongui–Jungang Line]]. As its name indicates, it serves the nearby [[Hongik University]]. It was formerly known as '''Donggyo station''', after the neighborhood that it serves.
As of December 2010, it has become a transfer station to [[AREX]] and also was connected to the [[Gyeongui–Jungang Line]]. It will become the terminus station of the forthcoming [[Daejang–Hongdae Line]] planned to open in 2031.<ref>{{cite web |url= https://www.chosun.com/english/national-en/2025/12/15/L4LTNAS5EJHU7B6OF3P4PQPKSU/ |title= Daejang-Hongdae Line Begins Construction, Halving Travel Time to 27 Minutes: 2.1 Trillion Won Project to Open 2031, Adding Stations in Underserved Areas |author= Kim A-sa |date= 15 December 2025 |website= [[The Chosun Ilbo]] |publisher= |access-date= 27 January 2026 |quote= }}</ref>
