Seoul’s Transformation: K-Drama Landmarks & Traditional Market Walk

Tour Overview

Experience the two faces of Seoul! This tour takes you through the city's dramatic transformation—from a highly exclusive residential gem featured in the latest K-Dramas to the historic, bustling energy of a 600-year-old traditional market.

Join me for a journey where cinematic fiction meets the vibrant reality of Seoul!

1. The Hidden "ㅁ" Building (Private Access)

We start our journey at a location so secret we just call it "**Building". This private residential spot is a favorite for directors of legal dramas like "Good Partner" and thrillers like "Walking On Thin Ice."

• It’s a real home for Seoul residents. We will enter silently like secret agents to respect the locals.

2. Seoullo 7017: The "Daytime Vincenzo" Stroll

In the drama "Vincenzo," the protagonist walks here at night in a sharp suit. We’ll be doing it in broad daylight, enjoying the "Main Character energy" in our comfortable walking shoes!

3. Seoul Square & Seoul Station (Iconic Vantage Points)

While walking along Seoullo 7017, we will enjoy their magnificent views from the sky bridge rather than entering the buildings.

4. Namdaemun Gate: The Sentinel of Seoul

Descending from the sky garden, we will stand before Namdaemun, Korea’s No. 1 National Treasure.

5. Namdaemun Market: The Real-Life "Food Drama"

We conclude our adventure by diving into Namdaemun Market, the oldest and largest traditional market in Korea.
• Trying any food is completely optional and based on your own preference.

The tour lasts 2 hours
