History

In September 1997 the station was planned to be built with Korail and the city government of Osan sharing 50-50 of the construction cost, but in 1999 Korail decided to cancel the project due to budget constraints, causing residents and students from nearby universities, such as Hanshin University, to protest.{{Cite web |last=Jeong |first=Chan-min |date=1999-07-21 |title=오산시 세마역 신설 철도청선 "예산없다" |url=https://www.joongang.co.kr/article/3801762 |access-date=2025-02-03 |website=중앙일보 |language=ko}} After evaluating it to be economically feasible, construction resumed.{{Cite web |last=Gong |first=Byeong-il |date=2000-02-23 |title=오산에 세마·수청역 신설 |url=https://www.incheonilbo.com/news/articleView.html?idxno=37969 |access-date=2025-02-03 |website=인천일보 |language=ko}} It was originally scheduled to open in 2002, but conflict over project costs and land ownership further delayed its date.{{Cite web |last=Kang |first=Kyung-sook |date=2003-03-12 |title=수원~천안 복복선 개통 차질 |url=https://www.pttimes.com/news/articleView.html?idxno=3359 |access-date=2025-02-03 |website=평택시민신문 |language=ko}} Finally in 2005 it began operations.
