Namsan
and is quite hilly.
The station's name comes from the nearby Beoti Pass, which according to legend got its name after soldiers chasing a thief through the pass from Hannam-dong to Yaksu-dong in the Joseon period, shouting beondo (번도, thief), and the word beondo later became beonti and then beoti.[3]
