Hello. Today, I will introduce you to Seoul’s northwestern gateway:AREX’s Digital Media City Station. 

This station is located in the neighborhood of Sangam where it is possible to transfer to both the Gyeongui-Jungang Line and Line number 6. 

In the station, there are long benches and displays for people to check the airport’s schedule. 

Thus, travelers with carriers or heavy baggage can conveniently drop off their luggage for a bit and rest as they check the time.

At Digital Media City Station, there is a Dunkin Donuts, E-Mart24 convenience store, 

fish cakes stand, and various other stores, thus helping you solve your hunger with a simple meal.

For the convenience of all travelers, 

there are storage lockers and an ATM allowing for cash withdrawals. 

Whether you need to drop off luggage for a bit or need some cash, you may do so easily here.

Now shall we take a look at the attractions nearby Digital Media City Station?

Digital Media City, or DMC for short,

is an assembly of cutting edge IT technology, human resources, and cultural entertainment industries.

 As such, it is an urban complex of both Digital Media and Entertainment.

From the outside, you can experience the cutting-edge IT industry thanks to the presence of the 

magnificient and refined Korean broadcasting stations like MBC, SBS, YTN, CJ E&M, etc. 

One can easily see public broadcasts, live broadcasts, dramas being filmed, etc. in the area.

From the inside, there are beautiful sculptures scattered about.  Further, there are both big and small

 events at the Media Town Plaza allowing for new attractions to be seen.

While Sangam-dong’s Seoul World Cup Stadium was the main stadium for the Korea-Japan joint

 world cup in 2002, it is now home of the soccer club FC Seoul.

This is not only a soccer stadium, but also an entertainment space including a large supermarket, 

movie theater, sports center, wedding hall, etc., thus creating a shopping and leisure space in which residents can feel loved.

The beauty of Seoul World Cup Stadium’s world-renown architecture along with its own public relations 

office located inside the stadium itself allows for all to see 100 years of Korean soccer history. 

We’ve now taken a look at AREX’s Digital Media City Station and the local area. 

 There is even more to see and enjoy outside of what we discussed today such as the Oil Tank Culture Park, World Cup Park, etc. 

So definitely stop by sometime!

Thank you!
