A relaying method of an optical signal of a hybrid relaying apparatus in a gigabit passive optical element includes: selecting and receiving any one of a first serial electrical signal corresponding to a downlink wavelength division multiplexing-passive optical line terminal (WDM-PON OLT) optical signal and a second serial electrical signal corresponding to a downlink gigabit passive optical network optical line terminal (GPON OLT) optical signal; modulating the downlink serial electrical signal to a downlink GPON transmission convergence (GTC) frame; extracting control information for uplink transmission from the downlink GTC frame; converting the downlink GTC frame into the downlink serial electrical signal; and converting the converted serial electrical signal into an optical signal and transmitting the converted optical signal in a GPON OLT optical transceiver.
