Where Rumi & Jinu Met: A K-Drama Walk Through Naksan Park in Seoul
안녕하세요, I’m Hangeulia ^-^💗
You already know I’ve been totally obsessed with K-Pop Demon Hunters lately
(나 요즘 케데헌에 완전 빠졌어>< 👉catch up right here), right?ㅎㅎ
So this week, I finally made a little visit to a real filming spot from the show
— Naksan Park (낙산공원) in
Jongno-gu, Seoul.
But before we get into all the vibes...
shall we review a
little from our last post?^^
💚낙산공원 완전 강추!
(If you missed that post, you can check it out 👉 [right here]!)
💜Naksan Park (낙산공원)

Sunset view from Naksan Park Fortress Wall in Seoul – A real K-Drama spot from K-Pop Demon Hunters ^^ |
Remember that quiet stone wall where Rumi and Jinu met for the second time?
The same place where the old lady gave Rumi a bracelet? ^-^
Yep. That scene was absolutely inspired from right here in Naksan Park,
wrapped around the Seoul Fortress Wall in the heart of Jongno.
As someone who’s been totally into 케데헌 these days (I even made a playlist for it, ㅎㅎ ),
I
couldn’t resist soaking in the real vibe.😻
💜How to Visit Like a Local (But Smartly!)
If you’re exploring around Jongno and want to save your
energy (trust me, those slopes are no joke >_<), I recommend taking a
taxi straight to🚕:
Naksan Park Public Parking Lot
: 50-131 Dongsung-dong,
Jongno District, Seoul (Just pop it into Google Maps!)
an easy way to save energy before your K-drama walk ^^ |
From there, you’ll see stairs heading up — follow them and take a left at the fork.
Soon, you’ll come across the Second Observatory,
and
then boom — the fortress wall appears, just like in the drama.💗
But...hey... don’t try climbing the wall like Rumi did!
>< ㅎㅎㅎ
💜Sunset is the Magic Hour
 |
Golden hour magic at Naksan Park — Perfect time for a K-Drama moment🤩 |
Here’s my tip💛: Go after dinner, just before sunset.
That
way, you’ll catch the golden hour glow AND stay to watch the night view over
Seoul.
As you follow the fortress trail, snap some photos📷 and take in the panoramic views.
Try spotting both towers! Namsan Tower is easy to find — but Lotte Tower?
It’s hiding waaay over there on the opposite side from Namsan Tower.
You might need to squint! ^^
At the top, take a breather and listen to a few tracks from Huntrix or the Saja boys.🎵
You’ll really feel that 케데헌
energy kick in.😊
 |
When the sunset fades, the wall transforms golden — just like a Huntrix beat hitting right on time ^^ |
 |
Tea, city lights, and K-Drama dreams from a rooftop café at the top🌆 |
Even better, grab a cozy seat at a rooftop café near the summit, sip some tea🍵 or enjoy a cold beer🍺, and soak in the night skyline.
💜Travel Season Tips
July is hot and humid in Korea (seriously… a portable fan is a must! ><).
But at night, you’ll still catch a nice breeze up top.🍃
The best time to visit is April–June or September–October,
but honestly, I’d brave
the heat again for this vibe.😉
Naksan Park is open 24/7 and totally free!😲
💛Highlights of the Visit
Drama Spot: The iconic K-drama wall from K-Pop Demon Hunters
Best time: Sunset to night
Route: Taxi to parking lot → walk up past 2nd observatory → fortress wall walk
Detour: Ihwa Mural Village for photos and cute alleys
Final touch: Night tea or beer at a rooftop café
What to Bring: Comfortable shoes, a bottle of water, and a portable fan if visiting in summer (trust me, it helps! ^^)
