μ•ˆλ…•ν•˜μ„Έμš”! I’m Hangeulia ^-^

Lately, I’ve been totally obsessed with K-Pop Demon Hunters — in Korea, everyone casually calls it 케데λͺ¬ [keh-deh-mohn]. If you love Netflix K-dramas, K-pop, and planning your next trip to Korea, you’re in the right place. ^^

While watching the movie, so many scenes felt strangely familiar — like places I had actually walked through before. As someone living in Korea, I could immediately recognize the vibes of certain streets, towers, palaces, and even traditional villages.

This is a practical travel guide for K-Pop Demon Hunters fans who want to visit real-life locations in and around Seoul.

In this post, we’ll explore:

  • 7 must-visit locations in and around Seoul that capture the feeling of the movie
  • Bonus spots that inspired key scenes and concepts in K-Pop Demon Hunters

Ready to step into πŸ‘£ the world of Huntrix and the Saja Boys? Let’s go on a 케데λͺ¬-style K-drama walk together.




πŸ’œ If You’re Visiting Seoul: 7 Must-Visit K-Drama Spots


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

Address: 37 Gyedong-gil, Jongno-gu, Seoul (μ„œμšΈ μ’…λ‘œκ΅¬ 계동길 37)
πŸ‘‰ View on Google Maps (Bukchon Hanok Village)

Hours (residential protection): 10:00–17:00, Monday–Saturday (please keep quiet and respect the neighbors πŸ™)

This is where the rooftop vibe of Rumi and Jinu’s first meeting and their duet of “Free” really comes to life. Bukchon is filled with traditional Korean houses called hanok (ν•œμ˜₯), connected by narrow alleys and gentle hills.

Walk slowly, look up at the tiled roofs, and you’ll feel like you’ve stepped right into a K-drama scene.^^




2. Naksan Park (낙산곡원)

Address: 41 Naksan-gil, Jongno-gu, Seoul (μ„œμšΈ μ’…λ‘œκ΅¬ λ‚™μ‚°κΈΈ 41)
πŸ‘‰ View on Google Maps (Naksan Park)

Hours: Open year-round, 24 hours

In the movie, this park matches the mood of the second time Rumi and Jinu meet — the scene where a kind grandmother hands Rumi a bracelet. The atmosphere is quiet, soft, and full of emotion.

Naksan Park is a hilltop park with a beautiful fortress wall trail and sweeping views over Seoul. Walk along the wall and you’ll feel like the city is unfolding under your feet. ✨

πŸ’› Pro tip: Visit around sunset. You’ll get golden light for photos, and if you stay a bit longer, the night view of Seoul twinkling below you is pure K-drama magic.




3. Myeong-dong (λͺ…동)

Main area: Around Myeongdong Station and Myeongdong Shopping Street
πŸ‘‰ View on Google Maps (Daiso Myeongdong Main)

Remember the Saja Boys’ energetic “Soda Pop” street performance? The lively, crowded street full of signs and people is inspired by Myeong-dong, one of Seoul’s most famous shopping districts.

Here you’ll find:

  • Endless street food stalls
  • Cosmetics shops, fashion stores, cute cafΓ©s
  • Buskers and live performances on busy nights

Don’t leave without trying a Korean corn dog — you’ll instantly think of the scene where Jinu mischievously squirts mustard during “Soda Pop.” ^0^




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

Address: 105 Namsangongwon-gil, Yongsan-gu, Seoul (μ„œμšΈ μš©μ‚°κ΅¬ 남산곡원길 105)
πŸ‘‰ View on Google Maps (N Seoul Tower)

Observatory hours: Mon–Fri 10:00–22:30, Sat–Sun 10:00–23:00 (Last ticket sales usually end about 30 minutes before closing.)
*Hours can change, so always double-check before you go.

You can spot N Seoul Tower shining in the background throughout the film. In the final scenes, the Saja Boys even talk about holding a concert here.

There isn’t a real concert hall inside the tower, but it’s one of the most iconic K-drama night-view spots in Seoul. Ride the cable car or walk up through Namsan Park, then enjoy:

  • Romantic city views from the observatory
  • The famous love locks area πŸ”’πŸ’–
  • CafΓ©s and photo zones perfect for couples and friends



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

Address: 300 Olympic-ro, Songpa-gu, Seoul (μ„œμšΈ μ†‘νŒŒκ΅¬ μ˜¬λ¦Όν”½λ‘œ 300)
πŸ‘‰View on Google Maps (Lotte World Tower)

Seoul Sky Observatory: Floors 117–123 Mon–Fri 10:30–22:30, Sat–Sun 10:30–23:00 (Last entry and ticketing usually close about 1 hour before closing.)
*Times may vary by season and events.

That breathtaking view from Huntrix’s luxurious penthouse feels just like the panorama from Seoul Sky, at the top of Lotte World Tower — Korea’s tallest skyscraper.

Visit during the day for a clear view of the Han River and the city, or at night for glittering lights in every direction. Stand by the glass windows and you’ll understand why Huntrix looks as if she’s watching over the whole city. 😻




6. Gyeongbokgung & Changdeokgung Palaces (경볡ꢁ + 창덕ꢁ)

Address

Regular closing day: Monday (for both palaces)

Gyeongbokgung hours (approx.):
Jan–Feb, Nov–Dec: 09:00–17:00 (last entry 16:00)
Mar–May, Sep–Oct: 09:00–18:00 (last entry 17:00)
Jun–Aug: 09:00–18:30 (last entry 17:30)

Changdeokgung hours (approx.):
Feb–May, Sep–Oct: 09:00–18:00 (last entry 17:00)
Jun–Aug: 09:00–18:30 (last entry 17:30)
Nov–Jan: 09:00–17:30 (last entry 16:30)

*Operating hours can be shortened or adjusted due to palace events or weather, so please check the official website before your visit.

Jinu’s 400-year-old flashbacks have the atmosphere of Korea’s royal palaces. If you want to feel that mix of history and fantasy, these two palaces are the best places to start.

Gyeongbokgung (경볡ꢁ) was the main palace of the Joseon Dynasty, first built in 1395 as the primary royal residence. Its grand courtyards and traditional architecture give a majestic, cinematic feeling.

Changdeokgung (창덕ꢁ) is known as the most “Korean” of the palaces, designed in harmony with nature. It later became the main residential palace and is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Secret Garden (후원) in particular feels like somewhere Jinu might have walked long ago. ^^

If you’re visiting Seoul, I highly recommend choosing at least one of these: Gyeongbokgung for royal grandeur, Changdeokgung for peaceful elegance.




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

Address: 90 Minsokchon-ro, Giheung-gu, Yongin-si, Gyeonggi-do (κ²½κΈ° μš©μΈμ‹œ κΈ°ν₯ꡬ λ―Όμ†μ΄Œλ‘œ 90)
πŸ‘‰View on Google Maps

Typical hours: Mon–Thu 10:00–18:00, Fri–Sun 10:00–22:00 (seasonal changes and special events may affect closing time)

This village doesn’t appear as a direct filming location, but if you want to feel like you’ve walked straight into Jinu’s Joseon-era world, Korean Folk Village is perfect.

You’ll find:

  • Traditional thatched-roof houses and tile-roofed hanok
  • Old-style markets and folk games
  • Performances that bring Korea’s past to life πŸ•–

During summer (usually July–August), the Night Horror Experience transforms the village after dark. You wander under the moonlight surrounded by ghosts, legends, and spooky performances… In a 케데λͺ¬ mood, you might feel like demons could pop out at any time. 😱




πŸ’œ Other K-Pop Demon Hunters–Inspired Locations


1. Seoul Yakryeong Market & Seoul K-Medi Center (μ„œμšΈμ•½λ Ήμ‹œμž₯ & μ„œμšΈν•œλ°©μ§„ν₯μ„Όν„°)

Address

  • Market area: 10 Yakryeongjungang-ro, Dongdaemun-gu, Seoul (μ„œμšΈ λ™λŒ€λ¬Έκ΅¬ μ•½λ Ήμ€‘μ•™λ‘œ 10 인근)
  • Seoul K-Medi Center: 26 Yangnyeongjungang-ro, Dongdaemun-gu, Seoul (μ„œμšΈ λ™λŒ€λ¬Έκ΅¬ μ•½λ Ήμ€‘μ•™λ‘œ 26 μ„œμšΈν•œλ°©μ§„ν₯μ„Όν„°)

Hours

  • Market area: around 09:00–18:00 (shop by shop may differ)
  • Seoul K-Medi Center: March–October (summer season): 10:00 – 18:00, November–February (winter season): 10:00 – 17:00

If you’re already exploring Seoul Yakryeong Market, the K-Medi Center is a perfect quick stop to learn and relax. ^^

In the movie, Huntrix visits a traditional clinic when her throat hurts before an important performance. The herbal doctor tells her that to treat one part, you have to understand the whole body — a very Korean way of looking at health. πŸ˜‰ Of course, the story adds a funny twist, but I’ll leave that for you to enjoy yourself.

The background for this episode is inspired by Seoul Yakryeong Market, Korea’s biggest hub for herbal medicine. About 70% of domestic medicinal herbs are distributed through this market.

If you stop by the Seoul Yakryeong Herb Medicine Museum inside the market, you can explore Korea’s traditional herbal culture in a hands-on way. The museum displays over 350 rare medicinal herbs and historical artifacts, and also offers small experiential programs perfect for travelers. Here, you can experience:

  • Herbal Foot Bath (μ•½μ΄ˆ μ‘±μš• μ²΄ν—˜) — Warm, herbal-infused water made from seasonal Korean medicinal ingredients. A relaxing wellness session that feels both traditional and soothing. (Closed during the winter season: December–February).
  • Herbal Massage & Meridian Therapy (λ³΄μ œμ› μ²΄ν—˜) — Light meridian-care experiences using herbal oils, helping you feel refreshed after walking around Seoul all day. (Not available for preschool-aged children)
  • Herbal Recipe Workshop (μ•½μ„  μ²΄ν—˜) — Learn to make simple, health-boosting dishes using Korean medicinal herbs. A fun way to understand hanbang beyond just tea or medicine.

(Program fees vary by activity and are generally in the 1,000–6,000 KRW range.)




2. COEX K-POP Square (μ½”μ—‘μŠ€ K-POP μŠ€ν€˜μ–΄)

At this huge outdoor 3D screen near Samseong Station (around Exit 6 of Samseong Station), Huntrix’s music video “Golden” is first unveiled in the movie world.

In real life, K-POP Square often shows K-pop-related content on its massive curved screen. It’s a fun place to feel the modern, flashy side of Seoul — and snap some photos as if you’re at a real premiere.




3. Jamsil Olympic Stadium & Seoul Sports Complex (μž μ‹€μ˜¬λ¦Όν”½μ£Όκ²½κΈ°μž₯ / μ„œμšΈμ’…ν•©μš΄λ™μž₯)

Address: 25 Olympic-ro, Songpa-gu, Seoul (μ„œμšΈ μ†‘νŒŒκ΅¬ μ˜¬λ¦Όν”½λ‘œ 25)

In the film, the grand stages for “How It’s Done” and the planned first live performance of “Golden” are set against the backdrop of a huge stadium — inspired by Jamsil Olympic Stadium.

Today, it’s one of Korea’s key venues for major concerts and festivals. If your travel dates match a big event here, it’s the perfect chance to experience K-pop energy in real life.




4. Cheongdam Bridge & Line 7 Subway Area (μ²­λ‹΄λŒ€κ΅ · 7ν˜Έμ„  μ²­λ‹΄μ—­~μžμ–‘μ—­)

One of the action scenes in the movie shows a thrilling chase with the Han River glittering in the background. The vibe of that sequence is modeled after the Cheongdam Bridge area and the subway line between Cheongdam and Jayang Stations (Line 7).

At night, this bridge gives you a chic view of Seoul’s skyline. It’s a great spot if you want to see a more modern, stylish side of the city away from the usual tourist paths.




5. Andong Hahoe Folk Village (μ•ˆλ™ ν•˜νšŒλ§ˆμ„)

Address: 186 Jeonse-ro, Pungcheon-myeon, Andong-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do (경뢁 μ•ˆλ™μ‹œ ν’μ²œλ©΄ μ „μ„œλ‘œ 186)

Hours:
Apr–Sep (summer): 09:00–18:00
Oct–Mar (winter): 09:00–17:00 (Last entry is usually about 30 minutes before closing.)

Along with Korean Folk Village, Hahoe Village is one of Korea’s most famous traditional villages. Here, people still live in old tile-roofed and thatched-roof hanok, so you can see how the past and present meet in one place.

Around 100 traditional houses remain, and several of them are registered as important cultural properties. If you fell in love with the historical mood of Jinu’s storyline, a day trip to Andong Hahoe will feel like walking through the roots of 케데λͺ¬’s world.
