History
Opened	November 26, 1997

This station served as the terminus point for Line 1 from November 26, 1997, to May 2, 1998. Despite its large foot traffic, the platforms for this station are narrower than other Line 1 stations.[2] It is also connected to the Daehyun PriMall, an underground shopping center, giving it a much larger than normal access area.

In 2003, an arsonist set fire to a train stopped at Jungangno Station. The fire killed at least 198 people.[3][4]
