Line 1 is a Template:Convert north-south subway line.<ref name="info">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> After six years of construction, the line opened for regular service on October 6, 1999 as the fourth subway system in South Korea, after Seoul, Busan, and Daegu. Transfers to the Seoul Metropolitan Subway can be made via Bupyeong Station to Seoul Subway Line 1, as well as the Suin Line to Seoul at Woninjae Station. A trip along the line from Gyeyang in the north to International Business District in the south takes approximately 57 minutes. The color of the line is light blue.

A one-station extension to Gyeyang opened in March 2007, providing transfers to AREX. A six-station south extension opened in June 2009.

The line uses 34 8-car trains. The first 25 trains were built between 1998 and 1999 by Daewoo Heavy Industries and Rotem, while the last 9 trains were built between 2007 and 2008 by Hyundai Rotem to provide trains following the extension of the line.

Seoul Metro Line 7Edit

{{#invoke:Labelled list hatnote|labelledList|Main article|Main articles|Main page|Main pages}}Line 7 on the Seoul Subway was extended beyond Onsu Station with 9 additional stations beyond Seoul City and into Incheon on October 27, 2012. The Template:Convert extension had ended at Bupyeong-gu Office Station, meeting Incheon Subway Line 1. On May 22, 2021, Line 7 was extended deeper into Incheon with the opening of the Template:Convert extension to Seongnam. The section of the line in Incheon and Bucheon Cities are operated by Incheon Transit Corporation with their own fleet of Incheon Transit Corporation SR000 series trains, and both fleets through service into each other's portion of the line. Future plans call for the relevant portion of the line to extended all the way to Cheongna International City station, with transfers available to AREX.
