History
Plans to create this line began in 1987, and the idea was finalized by 1991. In 2001, there were initial plans to have three more stations beyond Yangsan Station when they were constructing the third section of the line, but with the citizens of Yangsan requesting a different line to enter their city, the idea was scrapped as a replacement with another new light rail currently undergoing approval.
Another plan (which is also older) was of four additional stations stretching beyond Jangsan Station (201), but was scrapped in the beginning for cost issues. Currently, the extension idea is reviving, but another idea is to have a different rail (expected to be a light rail) to take place from Jangsan Station to the city of Ulsan.
