Jamsilsaenae station

Jamsilsaenae Station (Korean: 잠실새내역) is a station on Seoul Subway Line 2, located in Jamsil-dong, Songpa-gu, Seoul. On December 15, 2016, it was decided to change the name Sincheon to Jamsilsaenae, to avoid confusion with Sinchon Station on the opposite end of the line. Saenae (새내) is the native Korean pronunciation of the Sino-Korean Sincheon (新川), meaning "new stream".
