Did You Know These K-Pop Demon Hunters Scenes Were Inspired by Real Places in Korea?

πŸ’7 K-Drama Spots from K-Pop Demon Hunters You Can Actually Visit in Korea!


μ•ˆλ…•ν•˜μ„Έμš”! I’m Hangeulia ^-^

Lately, I've been totally obsessed with K-Pop Demon Hunters — in Korea, people call it 케데λͺ¬ [keh-deh-mohn] ^^.

If you’re into Netflix K-dramas, K-pop, and all things Korea, you’re in the right place!

While watching the film, I was amazed at how familiar some scenes felt — almost like I had been there before.

As a Korean, I definitely picked up on the vibes of some iconic spots around Seoul and beyond.^^

Ready to step intoπŸ‘£ the world of Huntrix and the Saja Boys?

Let’s explore 7 real-life locations that’ll make you feel like you’re part of the story. ^^



1. Bukchon Hanok Village (λΆμ΄Œν•œμ˜₯λ§ˆμ„)


Where Rumi and Jinu first met up, just the two of them — and later sang "Free" together 🎡

This charming village full of traditional Korean houses (called hanok [ν•œμ˜₯]) is the perfect backdrop for a slow, meaningful connection.

You’ll feel like you're walking through a K-drama scene yourself ^^.

2. Naksan Park (낙산곡원)


K-Drama filming location from K-Pop Demon Hunters, where Rumi and Jinu meet at Naksan Park.

The second time Rumi and Jinu met — and when the kind old lady handed her a bracelet.

It’s a quiet hilltop park with breathtaking views of the city and a peaceful fortress wall walkway.


πŸ’› Pro tip: Visit around sunset to enjoy the golden light and stay for the magical night view of Seoul.

3. Myeong-dong (λͺ…동)


The bustling streets you see when Huntress heads to the hanuiwon [ν•œμ˜μ›] (traditional medicine clinic πŸ₯) — and the Saja Boys busking "Soda Pop"! 🎡

Street food, neon signs, and energy that never sleeps.

You’ll want to try a Korean corn dog — just like the one Jinu playfully squirted mustard on during his "Soda Pop" scene! ^0^

4. N Seoul Tower / Namsan Tower (Nμ„œμšΈνƒ€μ›Œ / λ‚¨μ‚°νƒ€μ›Œ)


Daytime view of Namsan Seoul Tower (λ‚¨μ‚°νƒ€μ›Œ), a must-visit K-Drama landmark in central Seoul

Bright sky over N Seoul Tower πŸ’™
A peaceful hike and K-drama vibes all in one spot ^^


You’ll spot this iconic tower in the background throughout the film.

In the final scenes, the Saja Boys even talk about holding a concert here!

There’s no concert hall inside, but it’s a legendary K-drama destination for a romantic night view of Seoul. Don’t miss the love locks while you're up there! πŸ”’πŸ’–

5. Lotte World Tower (λ‘―λ°μ›”λ“œνƒ€μ›Œ)


That breathtaking view from Huntrix’s luxurious penthouse?

That’s Seoul Sky at the top of Lotte World Tower — Korea’s tallest skyscraper.

Visit by day or night, stand by the window, and you’ll feel just like Huntrix — powerful, elegant, and watching over the city 😻

6. Changdeokgung Palace (창덕ꢁ)


Jinu’s 400-year-old flashbacks lead us to this royal palace.

Though Gyeongbokgung is more famous, Changdeokgung was the actual royal residence at the time — especially after the invasions of the 1590s.

Walk through this UNESCO World Heritage site and feel the weight of Korean history and fantasy combined. ^^

7. Korean Folk Village (ν•œκ΅­λ―Όμ†μ΄Œ)

Traditional thatched-roof house at Korean Folk Village, featured in K-Pop Demon Hunters

A traditional thatched-roof house inside Korean Folk Village — one of the real-life backdrops featured in K-Pop Demon Hunters ^^


This place doesn’t show up directly in the film, but if you want to feel like you’ve stepped intoπŸ‘£ the Joseon-era village from Jinu’s 400-year-old flashbacks, this is the perfect spot.

It’s like time-traveling into Korea’s past — with hanok houses, traditional markets, and folk performances that bring the old days to life πŸ•–

Want to feel the eerie energy of a world where demons might still linger? From July to August, the Night Horror Experience lets you wander through the village under the moonlight… You never know what — or who — you’ll run into 😱
