  • ... that the rights to build Incheon Station (pictured) in the Korean Empire were temporarily given to an American company in an attempt to protect it from the Empire of Japan? Source: "In an effort to protect the right to construct the Gyeongin Railway against the Japanese, the Joseon government granted the station to an American named J.R. Morse in 1896 before the station was officially opened, on condition that the government would retrieve it 15 years later." The Korea Herald - regarding the phrasing of "company", see "An American company had won the concession from the Korean government to construct the Seoul–Incheon rail line" page 118 of A History of Korea (Kyung Moon Hwang, 3rd ed.)

    • Comment: The DYKcheck tool is counting an erroneous ~300 extra characters of prose in the current article and in its history for some reason (I suspect one of the templates is causing this). Per the prose size count of Page size tool, it has been fivefold expanded.

5x expanded by Freedom4U (talk). Self-nominated at 18:21, 11 July 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Incheon Station; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.

  • Expanded, nicely written, hook interesting and verified through the electronic article that constitutes one of the sources for that statement; image properly licensed; no plagiarism detected. Good to go. Dahn (talk) 19:19, 12 July 2023 (UTC)

Comment. It's unfortunate that that image isn't clearer as a thumbnail. Cielquiparle (talk) 02:29, 30 August 2023 (UTC)
