The first generation of Class 341000 trains were built from 1993 to 1996.
The trains used a livery consisting of red and orange stripes when delivered, but after refurbishment, the trains started using the new livery.
Because of the flat front ends, the trains are nicknamed "flat face" (납작이).

The trains are numbered 341-01~341-25; the trains were renumbered from trains 2-30~2-46, 2-49, 2-51~2-54, 2-70~2-72.

Trains 341-01~341-22 were manufactured from 1993 to 1994 by Daewoo Heavy Industries, Hanjin Heavy Industries, and Hyundai Precision to address the opening of the Gwacheon Line and the Ansan Line (from Seonbawi Station to Ansan Station) and were originally six cars long.
Additional cars were built in 1995 by Daewoo Heavy Industries to expand these trains to ten cars.
Meanwhile, trains 341-23~341-25 were manufactured in 1996 by Daewoo Heavy Industries to expand the rolling stock on Line 4; they were built with 10 cars each.

Trains 341-01~341-07 are expected to be replaced by third generation Class 341000 trains.
Train 341-02 was retired in 2018 after it was cannibalized of cars for other metro trains, and many trains currently utilize cars from other Class 341000 trains or from older Class 311000 trains.
