The first section from Jamsil to Moran opened in 1996, and the second section from Moran to Amsa was opened in July 1999. The line color is rose. In 2019, Line 8 had an annual ridership of 112 million or about 307,000 people per day. [3] At 17.7 km (11.0 mi) in length, Line 8 is the shortest of all heavy rail Seoul Metropolitan Subway lines.

The extension added 11.37 km (7.06 mi) of line to the already existing 17.7 km (11.0 mi). [4] [5] with operation beginning on August 10, 2024. [6] [7]
