Actual Filming Location of 'Kpop Demon Hunters'
1. Olympic Main Stadium（올림픽주경기장）
- Address: 서울 송파구 올림픽로 25
From the concert at the beginning of 'Kpop Demon Hunter Girl Group' to the later venue for the Idol Grand Prize, both take place at the Olympic Main Stadium, a place very familiar to fans. If there were a 'Soul Gate' in the real world, the Olympic Main Stadium, which can hold 60,000 people, would definitely be the best place to bring fans together.

2. Lotte World Tower（롯데월드타워）
- Address: 서울 송파구 올림픽로 300
As soon as everyone sees the super tall building serving as the HUNTR/X headquarters in 'Kpop Hunter Girl Group,' you can immediately connect it with Korea's tallest building, 'Lotte Tower,' right? Although the appearance isn't exactly the same, the way it rises among many buildings looks very familiar.

In the drama, the scene overlooking the night view of Seoul from a high-rise is clearly at the Lotte Tower observatory 'Seoul Sky.' If you're interested, why not take a 'The Atypical Family' sightseeing trip and check in?

4. Myeong-dong（명동）
- Address: Seoul, Jung-gu, Myeong-dong
When it comes to the most relatable 'K-scene' in 'Kpop Demon Hunters,' it's definitely 'Myeong-dong,' a place that's very familiar to both Koreans and foreign visitors. In the scene where Lumi loses her voice and Zoe takes her to the Korean medicine clinic, it's very clear that this is Myeong-dong, known for its many street food stalls.

The scene where Saja Boys perform on the street is also clearly set in the heart of the Myeong-dong shopping district. When you see this part, do you also feel it's very familiar?

5. Bukchon Hanok Village（북촌한옥마을）
- Address: 37 Gyedong-gil, Jongno-gu, Seoul
Another scene that represents Korean culture is the 'hanok,' which has a history of hundreds of years. In the scene where Lumi and Jinwoo meet in private, the beautiful tiled hanok leaves a deep impression. This filming location is clearly the 'Bukchon Hanok Village' next to Gyeongbokgung Palace.
Countless hanoks line the slopes of Bukchon Samcheong-dong, and within the narrow alleys, the essence of Korea's history is still preserved.

The ancient city wall stretches along the hillside, and climbing up gives you a panoramic view of Seoul. This spot is also a filming location for many Korean dramas, so you can check them out together.

7. Cheongdam Bridge(청담대교)

8. Ziyang Station(Jayang Station)
- Address: 서울 광진구 자양동 71-2
After the fight scene ends, HUNTR/X fails to save the passengers in the train car and gets off the train feeling dejected.

Getting off here not only lets you check out the filming location for 'Kpop Hunter Girl Group,' but you can also have a picnic at Ttukseom Hangang Park nearby.
