Subway Line 4 is really...
During rush hour, I let three trains pass and barely managed to squeeze onto the fourth, but there was no room to even stand. Right as the doors were closing, my bag strap got caught, and I broke out in a cold sweat. Seriously.

Agreed—Line 4 on the morning commute is truly hopeless.
Same here... What time do you ride? I'm around 8:10, which is peak time, so I find it a bit better if I shift slightly earlier or later.
Got a source? Three generations in and the fourth seems like a bit of a stretch lol
Line 4 is really... I can’t ride any other line (laughs). Hang in there, everyone.
Getting your bag strap caught is genuinely dangerous. I once started moving with the hem of my coat caught in the door—just thinking about it still gives me cold sweats. I've also seen paper bags get caught in the door and get dragged along... For just a stop or two, it's really safer to take the earlier train and wait for the next one.
I'm a Line 4 commuter, and the Sadang–Seoul Station stretch is pure hell. Especially when the people getting on at Sungshin Women's University Station come in, there isn't even room to breathe... I just walk one stop ahead and get on there. It's better for my mental health.
Well, isn't that just how everyone is during rush hour? Line 2 is the same, so framing it as if only Line 4 is the problem feels a bit off. It's not like the other lines are spacious either.
