ITX Saemaul overview
ITX Saemaul trains are KORAIL intercity electric multiple units used on conventional rail corridors across South Korea. They have a modern exterior compared with older Saemaul-era rolling stock and operate from stations such as Seoul, Yongsan, Daejeon, Daegu, Busan, Gwangju, and Mokpo depending on route. The onboard setup is single class with reserved seating, arranged for medium and long intercity trips rather than high-speed KTX operation.

The seating layout is designed for conventional intercity travel, with assigned places shown by carriage and seat number on the ticket details. Some departures may show different fare conditions or seat availability, but the onboard class remains the same single-class product.
