The One-Day “Pilgrimage” Route (efficient loop, minimal backtracking)
1) Morning light — Bukchon Hanok Village → Myeong-dong
Why first: soft light on hanok rooftops, fewer crowds.
Vibe: curved tile eaves against a modern skyline; very “tradition-meets-neon” foreshadowing for the movie’s folklore beats. Locations round-ups consistently list Bukchon as a key backdrop.

Getting there: Subway Line 3 → Anguk (Exit 2), walk 7–10 min up Bukchon-ro into the alleys.
Lower-third caption: “Bukchon Hanok Village — Line 3 Anguk Exit 2 → 7 min walk.”
Shoot list (quick cuts): alleyway crest shots, close-ups of wooden doors, a skyline reveal from the slope.
Etiquette tip: it’s a residential area—keep sound low; your mic will thank you too.
alovelettertoasia.com
Hop to Myeong-dong for brunch/street snacks: Line 3 → Chungmuro transfer to Line 4 → Myeong-dong (Exits 6–8).
Why here: classic Seoul bustle the film leans on (neon canyons + buskers). It’s on multiple fan/location lists.

2) Late morning — Namsan & N Seoul Tower
Why now: clearer vistas before afternoon haze; it’s a major set piece in the film’s concert imagery. Guides repeatedly highlight the tower’s cameo role.

Two ways up:
Cable Car from Myeong-dong area (walk ~10 min to the lower station; take the free Orumi outdoor elevator to the base). Adult round-trip ~₩15,000 (official 2025 price; book on-site).
Viator

Hike (~20–30 min) if you want B-roll of the city walls and stair segments.
Lower-third caption: “N Seoul Tower — Cable Car RT ₩15,000; hours vary.”
Visit Seoul
Shoot list: 360° deck pan, padlocks montage for transitions, a tilt from treetops to tower spire; insert a music “beat-drop” as you reveal the skyline.
3) Early afternoon — COEX K-POP Square (3D screen)
Why it’s essential: the giant anamorphic LED is Seoul’s unofficial “sci-fi portal,” and appears across K-culture montages tied to the film’s city beats. Multiple round-ups tag it as a recognisable touchpoint.

Getting there: Line 2 → Samseong (Exits 5–6), walk 5–7 min into COEX/K-POP Square.
Lower-third caption: “COEX K-POP Square — Line 2 Samseong Exits 5/6.”
Shoot list: wide of the corner screen (wait for an anamorphic ad), escalator ride-by, quick mall interior glide for pace.
4) Mid-late afternoon — Seoul Olympic Main Stadium (Jamsil Sports Complex)
Why here: a concrete “seashell” of 1988 vibes that the film uses for concert/arena scale; listed in multiple fan guides.
Creatrip
+1
Getting there: Line 2 or Line 9 → Sports Complex (Exits 5–8).
Shoot list: exterior ribs leading lines; hero walk across the plaza; cutaway of venue signage.
Optional detour: Lotte World Tower skyline establishers (one station east): Jamsil (Lines 2 & 8), up into the mall concourses for a fast city-from-within shot. Both the tower and Jamsil riverfront appear in several lists.

5) Golden hour → blue hour — Naksan Park & Seoul City Wall
Why sunset here: stone ramparts + city lights = the exact “mythic-meets-modern” mood the movie chases; articles call it out for rooftop/skyline fight vibes.
gccmedia.co
Getting there: Line 4 → Hansung Univ. (Exit 4), short uphill walk; or Line 1/4 → Dongdaemun (Exit 7) and follow wall signs.
Shoot list: wall-line leading perspective, a 24–35mm walk-and-talk along the ridge, time-lapse of lights flipping on.
6) Nightcap — Cheongdam Bridge OR Ttukseom (Jayang) Hangang Park
Why finish riverside: the movie’s night energy leans on bridges and water; both spots land on fan/location lists.
Creatrip
Cheongdam Bridge: Line 7 → Cheongdam / Ttukseom Resort then walk to the river trail. Frame traffic trails under trains for kinetic layers.

Ttukseom (Jayang) Hangang Park: Line 7 → Ttukseom Resort (Exit 2/3); lawns, wind, and skyline—ideal for a final “we did it” sign-off.

Pacing checklist (for your schedule card):
08:30–10:00 Bukchon
10:20–12:00 Namsan/N Tower (cable car + deck B-roll)
12:30–13:30 Myeong-dong lunch (or swap order with Namsan if weather/cloud base changes)
14:15–15:15 COEX K-POP Square
15:40–16:20 Olympic Stadium plaza
17:10–18:40 Naksan Park sunset → blue hour
19:10–20:00 Cheongdam Bridge or Ttukseom night shots
Why these spots “read” as K-Pop Demon Hunters on camera
Tradition vs. Tech: Bukchon + Naksan (heritage textures) vs. COEX LEDs and stadium scale—exactly the movie’s aesthetic contrast. Official and travel features present these as the film’s signature mix.
