Chuncheon – Sokcho line approved

On train, it's been inconvenient to travel from Seoul to northern part of east coastline of South Korea.
But, completion of the line will solve the problem.

When Gyoengchun Line(Seoul-Chuncheon Line) was renovated to be electrified and doubled tracked in 2010, I didn't know why the line had to be renovated.
After reading this article, I found that the reason was to make the line high speed rail.
