Sotae station is a subway station on Gwangju Metro Line 1 in Dong-gu, Gwangju, South Korea. It is named after the Sotae Valley, a large valley of Mudeungsan.

Design

It encompasses a circuit road that reduces traffic congestion caused by heavy traffic volume entering this area from Hwasun, parking lots, and bike parking lots near the station. It is designed to enhance pedestrian safety by securing 3.5–5 meter-wide sidewalks on both sides of the roads.

It is a control station in charge of Hakdong–Jeungsimsa station and Dolgogae station.
