The former Seoul Station was designated as the 284th State Designated Cultural Asset in 1981 and acts as a landmark that expresses historical values through the renaissance architecture and exterior lighting. To modernize the Seoul Station building, the face and entrance of Seoul and to maximize the efficiency of the railroad building use, a brand new Seoul Station was designed and constructed.

Therefore this research arranges the entire development plans and the current situation of the exterior lights of Seoul joint station buildings by private capital to provide as basic information for plans of joint station buildings hereafter.
