KPop Demon Hunters Filming Locations Seoul 2026: All 6 Real Spots by Subway

Bottom line: The scenes in the animated film "KPop Demon Hunters" are tied to real places in Seoul. Bukchon Hanok Village is where the rooftop date happened, COEX K-Pop Square appears in the opening sequence, Myeongdong street is linked to the "Soda Pop" number, Naksan Park's fortress trail is the night-stroll and battle scene, N Seoul Tower is where the climactic battle was shot, and Seoul Olympic Stadium is where the opening performance takes place. All six are reachable by subway, so you can string them into one day.

If you didn't know: If you don't know which scene matches which location and just follow a blog's random order, you'll end up backtracking on a route that subway lines actually connect cleanly, burning an extra 1-2 hours in a single day. Bukchon, Naksan, and N Seoul Tower sit close enough to link by foot or a short bus ride if you sequence them right.

The film is a Netflix animated feature released in June 2025. In the months after its release, global flight bookings to Korea rose 25%, according to Bloomberg, and government figures show 1.36 million foreign visitors came to Seoul in July 2025 alone, a 23.1% rise from the year before. As the film's scenes got tied to real locations, even non-filming spots connected to it, like the National Museum of Korea's gift shops selling related merchandise, saw a jump in visitors. Note that these are 2025 figures, not the latest numbers as of November 2026.
