Heunginjimun is located near Dongdaemun Station on Lines 1 and 4, which is a different exit area from DDP or Dongdaemun History and Culture Park Station. From these six properties, walking toward DDP and continuing a bit further in the same direction can bring you to the Heunginjimun fortress wall section, but the exact walking time in minutes between the two points could not be confirmed on official pages, so it was not included in this table. Since last train times vary by line and day of the week, it is more accurate to check the current day's schedule on the Seoul Metro official timetable.
