Officially introduced on <b>September 1, 2023<\/b>, this train was specifically designed to modernize intercity services and progressively replace the aging Mugunghwa-ho class trains. It operates at a service speed of <b>150 km\/h<\/b> (with a design speed of 165 km\/h), optimizing efficiency and comfort on South Korea&#8217;s main conventional lines.<br \/><br \/>Named through a public contest, &quot;Maum&quot; (\ub9c8\uc74c) translates to &quot;heart&quot; or &quot;mind,&quot; symbolizing the train&#8217;s mission to connect the people and regions of the country. Each set, available in 4 or 6-car formations with distributed traction, features a streamlined red-and-black aerodynamic design. The interior is equipped with modern passenger amenities, including onboard Wi-Fi, power outlets and USB ports at every seat, individual reading lights, and accessible spaces for passengers with reduced mobility, adhering to Korail&#8217;s universal design standards.<br \/><br \/>Powered by AC traction motors with regenerative braking and equipped with ATP safety systems, the ITX-Maum serves an extensive network. Its key routes include the <b>Gyeongbu<\/b>, <b>Honam<\/b>, <b>Jeolla<\/b>, <b>Jungang<\/b>, <b>Taebaek<\/b>, and <b>Donghae<\/b> lines, among others.
