The Ulsan Station had not planned for second phase of Gyeongbu HSR, although Ulsan is one of the metropolitan cities. But with constant civil petitions, President Roh Moo-hyun appealed positive reaction,[3] and the station was added to the plan from November 14, 2003. In result, it became the most successful case of second phase of Gyeongbu HSR.[citation needed]
The subname of Ulsan Station is Tongdosa, the temple located in Yangsan, not Ulsan. Some Christians[who?] didn't agree with the subname, arguing that it is a religious problem. But the Korail made a vote, resulted 7 of 9 committee agreed with the 'Tongdosa' subname.[citation needed] Nonetheless, the subname had not been displayed in the station until 2012.
