- City-center half day — Myeongdong Street → N Seoul Tower. A route linking Myeongdong and Namsan. Check how to reach the top of Namsan before you go.
- Gangnam and Jamsil route — Samseong Station COEX screen → Jamsil area (check the main stadium construction status). Line 2 links the two.
5. Tips for International Fans
- Information changes. Construction or access restrictions can happen, so check official channels the day before you go.
- The screen and the real place differ. Rather than expecting the same framing and colors as the animation, enjoy the atmosphere of the scenes.
- Respect residential areas. Bukchon and the area around Naksan are places where people live. Keep your voice down and do not photograph inside walls.
- Photo etiquette. Keep other visitors and residents out of your shots. Drone filming is restricted in most places, so follow on-site guidance.
- Korea Travel Hotline 1330. The Korea Tourism Organization's 1330 line answers travel questions in Korean, English, Japanese and Chinese.
- Use a Korean map app. Typing the Korean place name directly into Naver Map or KakaoMap gives the most accurate results.
