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

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


안녕하세요! I’m Hangeulia ^-^

Lately, I've been totally obsessed with K-Pop Demon Hunters — in Korea, people call it 케데몬 [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 into👣 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 (북촌한옥마을)

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 [한옥]) 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 (낙산공원)

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

Naksan Park (낙산공원) 
— where Rumi and Jinu met ⭐ 
Walk along the fortress wall and feel like you're in a real K-drama scene ^^


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.

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

3. Myeong-dong (명동)

The bustling streets you see when Huntress heads to the hanuiwon [한의원] (traditional medicine clinic🏥) — and the Saja Boys busking "Soda Pop" !🎵 That's totally Myeong-dong.^^

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 (N서울타워/ 남산타워)


Daytime view of Namsan Seoul Tower (남산타워), a must-visit K-Drama landmark in central Seoul

Bright sky over N Seoul Tower💙
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!🔒💖

5. Lotte World Tower (롯데월드타워)

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 😻

👉View on Google Maps



6. Changdeokgung Palace (창덕궁)

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. ^^

👉View on Google Maps



7. Korean Folk Village (한국민속촌)

This place doesn’t show up directly in the film, but if you want to feel like you’ve stepped into👣 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.🕖

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.😱
