The KTX-Eum (), also known as Korail Class 150000 or EMU-260, is a South Korean high-speed electric multiple unit train manufactured by Hyundai Rotem and operated by Korail. It is the first domestically designed and developed high-speed EMU in commercial service (also the second domestically developed high-speed train in commercial service, the first being KTX-Sancheon) in South Korea.

==History== After the development of the experimental HEMU-430X, Hyundai Rotem and Korail signed an agreement in June 2016 to supply high-speed electric multiple units, the first of its kind in South Korea in revenue service (the HEMU-430X is also an electric multiple unit, but it is not for revenue service and mass production). The original order was for five six-car units of EMU-260, but an additional order for 14 six-car units was placed in December 2016; both orders were scheduled for delivery around 2020 to 2021.
