This is a historical K-Drama and BTS fan's dream, or if you just like to visit sets. Booked this as part of the BTS ARMY tour to see where Yoongi (Agust D, Suga) filmed the MV for 'Daechwita.' Though I don't really watch sageuk shows, I am familiar with "Moon Embracing the Sun", which was filmed there. We had visited a palace the day before, so it was wild to see some of the exact type buildings used here. They did a great job in reproducing the buildings. And as we toured, we realized the 1 show we had seen, which ws historical had parts filmed here. It's owned by the channel MBC, who rents it out to others to film there. And of course, it was amazing to see where Yoongi filmed his MV - being the "king" and "boss" that he is.
It's about 1.5-2 hrs outside of Seoul depending on traffic, so I think a tour is best. But if you're doing road trips, then once you get out of the city, it would be a nice drive. If you do the little tour where they drive you around on the cart, you'll be able to see the underground jail area, which we got to see. They still actively film here, but we're not filming this day. So if they are, areas could be closed off, but you might get to see areas like the marketplace set up for filming with goods and props, which would be neat.
