Walk Through Seoul Like a K-Pop Demon Hunter

🎬 Explore Real-Life Locations from Netflix’s Global Hit Animation

If you’ve fallen under the spell of K-Pop Demon Hunters, you’re not alone.

This action-packed Netflix animation doesn’t just showcase fierce female idols and stylish demon fights — it captures the soul of real Seoul.

Behind every dramatic rooftop run and emotional ballad, there’s an actual place in the city you can visit.

Here’s your guide to walking through the very same streets, towers, and neighborhoods where the story of Lumi, Jinwoo, and Huntrix unfolds.

 

📍 1. Bukchon Hanok Village – Where Tradition Meets Emotion

The quiet rooftops of Bukchon Hanok Village set the scene for some of the most heartfelt moments between Lumi and Jinwoo.

Remember their late-night rooftop duet of “Free”? That was right here.

Stroll past 600-year-old hanoks as you soak in the mix of traditional beauty and subtle romance.

🔕 Note: A small section of Bukchon (Bukchon-ro 11-gil) has visiting hours (Mon–Sat 10am–5pm). Please be mindful — people actually live here!

 

🌆 2. Namsan Seoul Tower – The Heart of the Skyline

The tower you often spot in the background? That’s Namsan Seoul Tower.

Whether in sweeping drone shots or intimate skyline moments, this iconic peak represents the emotional high points of the story.

You can hike or take a cable car to the top and enjoy sweeping views of the city — just like in the movie.



🧱 3. Naksan Fortress Wall Trail – Moonlit Secrets

When Jinwoo starts suspecting Lumi’s secret, they meet by moonlight near Naksan Park’s fortress trail.

It’s peaceful, mysterious, and slightly off the beaten path — perfect for a soul-searching conversation (or a surprise plot twist).

 

Samcheong Park is also a great spot if you want to walk along the historic city wall.


🏟️ 4. Olympic Main Stadium – Huntrix’s Power Stage

Though under renovation today, the Seoul Olympic Stadium becomes Huntrix’s thunderous concert arena in the film.

This is where they perform “How It’s Done” and steal the spotlight.


🖥️ 5. Samsung Station LED Billboard – K-Pop in 3D

Ever seen a 3D lion leap out at you in Gangnam?

The huge LED billboard at Samsung Station (near COEX Mall) features Huntrix’s “Golden” music video in the film.

In real life, this spot is packed with digital art, trendy shops, and even the famous Starfield Library.

 

🗼 6. Seoul Sky Observatory – A View Fit for Idols

Huntrix’s HQ in the sky? It was inspired by the view from Seoul Sky, the observatory atop Lotte World Tower in Jamsil.

From here, you can see all of Seoul — mountains, rivers, bridges, and high-rises — just like in the movie’s wide skyline shots.


🎤 7. Myeongdong – K-Pop Meets Street Vibes

The opening scene with the Soda Pop performance by Saja Boyz? That was filmed in the vibrant streets of Myeongdong.

Food stalls, beauty stores, and music blasting from every corner — it’s the ultimate street K-pop experience.

This area also appears in the final, feel-good group scene.


🚇 8. Jayang Station & Cheongdam Bridge – Little Details That Add Seoul Flavor

The subway station called “Seomyu-won” in the film? That’s really Jayang Station.

The unique scene where a car drives over a bridge while a train passes below? That’s the Cheongdam Bridge.

Even Lumi’s visit to an old-school herbal medicine shop? That’s inspired by Jongno’s famous traditional pharmacies.

🌃 Bonus: Seoul’s Nightscapes – A City of Contrast

One thing the animation nails? Seoul’s magical night glow.

The city’s mountains are never far, even among towering buildings — a unique vibe that sets it apart from Tokyo, Bangkok or NYC.
