If you watched the final battle of KPop Demon Hunters and thought the tower above Seoul looked familiar, you were right.
That place is real — and you can visit it.
It is N Seoul Tower, commonly called Namsan Tower, one of Seoul’s most recognizable landmarks.
This Is Where the Final Battle Happens
Near the climax of KPop Demon Hunters, Gwi-Ma draws a huge crowd to watch the Saja Boys perform “Your Idol.”
Above everything stands N Seoul Tower.
Netflix confirms that the sequence is set on the hill around Namsan Tower, which director Chris Appelhans described as a beacon in the heart of Seoul.
The giant concert stadium underneath it, however, is fictional.
So you cannot visit the exact Saja Boys stage.
But you can visit the real mountain and tower that inspired the setting.
And Yes, Namsan Is Famous for Love Locks
There is another reason visitors immediately recognize the area.
Around N Seoul Tower, countless couples have attached colorful padlocks to fences and railings as symbols of their relationships.
They are commonly known as the Love Locks of Namsan.
For international KPop Demon Hunters fans, that makes Namsan more interesting than simply taking a photograph of the tower.
You can walk around the mountain, see Seoul from above and explore one of the real places incorporated into the movie’s version of the city.
How Much of KPop Demon Hunters’ Seoul Is Real?
More than you might expect.
The filmmakers traveled through Korea while developing the movie and studied real locations before transforming them into their animated Seoul.
Namsan is only one example.
Myeongdong inspired the area associated with the Saja Boys’ “Soda Pop” performance, while Rumi and Jinu meet around locations inspired by Bukchon Hanok Village and Naksan Park.
That means fans can actually build a KPop Demon Hunters trip through Seoul.
Where Is N Seoul Tower?
N Seoul Tower sits on Namsan Mountain in central Seoul.
The address is:
105 Namsangongwon-gil, Yongsan-gu, Seoul
Even if you have never watched KPop Demon Hunters, it is worth visiting for the panoramic city view.
But after watching the movie, standing beneath the tower feels a little different.
You are looking at the same Seoul landmark that became the backdrop for the Saja Boys, Gwi-Ma, Jinu and HUNTR/X’s final confrontation.
KPop Demon Hunters may be fantasy.
But this part of its world is waiting in the middle of Seoul.
