Station layout
Sangwolgok's layout is unusual. It has two platforms, but both of its active tracks go on the outside of the platforms. A third track runs between the platforms, splitting the island in two. This irregular layout is due to plans to make Sangwolgok a passing loop to cut down travel times falling through.

Why this record matters
The phrase “metro station in South Korea” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Place names and jurisdictional language are key evidence: both can reveal earlier catalogue descriptions and overlooked record series. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 24, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q490291. Authority coordinates are 37.606, 127.048. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank.
Modern boundaries and familiar names can conceal earlier jurisdictions or structures that do not align with the present site. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
