The replica was built specifically to accommodate large-scale film crews who required presidential-level interiors without the security restrictions of the actual Cheong Wa Dae.
The set spans approximately 68% of the actual scale of the real presidential office complex.
The interior furniture and decor are curated to replicate the aesthetic of the 1990s and 2000s presidential eras.
The Hapcheon Image Theme Park, which houses this set, is one of the largest film studio complexes in South Korea.
Parts of the set are modular, allowing production crews to rearrange partitions for different camera angles.
The Cheong Wa Dae Set is a 1:1 scale replica of South Korea's former presidential residence located within the Hapcheon Image Theme Park. Constructed for film and television production, the facility replicates the exterior and interior layouts of the real Blue House, including the Sejong Hall and the President’s office. It serves as a popular filming location for historical dramas and movies requiring period-accurate political settings. Visitors can access various rooms, such as the presidential office, designed to mimic the decor and atmosphere of the original structure. The complex is part of a larger outdoor cinema set that features architecture from various eras of 20th-century Korean history. The site remains fully accessible to the public as a tourist attraction following its initial development for the film industry.
