Tongil Station (North Korean official spelling: Thongil Station),[2] officially named Station,[1] is a metro station on the Chollima Line of the Pyongyang Metro.[3] The station features embossed copper carvings depicting themes of national reunification.
Tongil Station was renovated in 2019 to feature TVs, LED displays and electronic guide maps, which were added to the station's platforms and escalators.[4]
In February 2024, in line with Kim Jong Un's announcement of officially abandoning efforts to peacefully reunifying Korea, the name of the station (lit. Unification) was dropped, resulting in the station being renamed to "Station".[1]
