The King Sejong Station () is a research station for the Global Sea-level Observing System, the International Seismological Center, and the Intermagnet Project.
The station is usually re-supplied yearly by the RV Onnuri and more frequently by planes flying from Jubany in Argentina and the Chilean Eduardo Frei Base.[2]
The RV Araon was commissioned in 2009, and she is planned to supply South Korea's research stations, including the proposed Jang Bogo Station.[3]
