On 15 October 2013, the first set was delivered to Korail.[ citation needed ]

The EMU-150 entered service in 2014 on ITX-Saemaeul limited-express services. [3]

Export variant

In 2021, an order of 10 8-car trainsets was received for an export variant for Tanzania as part of its Standard Gauge Railway, with the appearance resembling this model. [4] The trains are gradually delivered from 2024 onwards. [5] [6]
