Station location and name dispute There was a conflict between the residents of Janghowon-eup, Icheon City and Gamgok-myeon, Eumseong County regarding the location selection for the station. In 2014, the residents of Gamgok-myeon demanded that GamgokJanghowon Station be located 300 meters towards the Gamgok-myeon direction."중부내륙철도 112번 역사 감곡 방면으로 300m 이전 설치하라" In 2015, the Korea National Railway proposed a compromise by moving the station location approximately 35 meters towards Gamgok-myeon and increasing the size of the station by 30 meters towards Gamgok-myeon."중부내륙철 감곡 역사 갈등 '종지부'" While the residents of Gamgok-myeon accepted this compromise, a dispute arose over the station name. In 2015, the residents of Janghowon-eup suggested that the station should be named Janghowon Station. However, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport supported the residents of Gamgok-myeon, resulting in the station being named GamgokJanghowon Station."장호원감곡역 vs 감곡장호원역…이천시-음성군 '역명 다툼" Nevertheless, this decision continues to be a subject of ongoing controversy.
