Magok Stationis a subway station ofSeoul Subway Line 5.It was opened in 2008, much later than the rest of Line 5, because the area underwent a significant redevelopment transforming a previously largely residential area into a completely new core city with the headquarters and R&D centers of major multinationals such asLGandLotte,Seoul's firstbotanic garden,a majorEwha Womans Universityhospital and large apartment complexes.

Initially opened with only one exit, the station now features seven exits and is right next to a majorBRTbus stop.
