The park serves as a permanent set for over 200 major motion pictures and television series to date.
The replica of the Gyeongseong station (modern-day Seoul Station) accurately reflects its 1920s architectural appearance.
The park includes an interactive 'Blue House' (Cheong Wa Dae) replica built at a 68% scale of the original presidential residence.
Some buildings are constructed using repurposed materials from original period structures to enhance historical authenticity.
The set often requires daily maintenance to keep the 'aged' look of the buildings consistent for ongoing filming needs.
It is one of the few places in South Korea where visitors can rent and wear authentic replicas of historical police and soldier uniforms for photos.
Hapcheon Movie Theme Park is a 74,000-square-meter open-air film set designed to replicate historical South Korean urban landscapes, particularly from the 1920s to the 1980s. The site serves as a recurring location for major K-dramas and films, including 'Assassination', 'A Taxi Driver', and 'Mr. Sunshine'. Visitors can walk through reconstructed neighborhoods representing the Japanese colonial period, the Korean War era, and the rapid urbanization of the 1970s. The site features functional replicas of old train stations, banks, and residential alleys that maintain a high degree of period-accurate detail. The park is integrated with the nearby Hapcheon Reservoir area, providing scenic views of the surrounding mountainous landscape. It functions as both a working production facility and a tourism destination. The layout includes specific zones like the 'Gyeongseong' area and a traditional village section.
The Gyeongseong station replica frontage provides the most iconic backdrop for the early 20th-century aesthetic.
Rent an authentic period-style outfit from the rental shops near the entrance for a more immersive photography experience.
Plan your visit to coincide with weekdays to avoid crowds and potential closures due to filming activities.
Wear comfortable walking shoes as the site is expansive with uneven period-accurate pavement.
Avoid visiting during peak summer afternoons without sun protection, as the set offers limited shade.
Closed on Mondays for facility maintenance.
Respect all filming equipment and staff if a production is actively taking place; do not touch props unless marked as interactive.
