Yeogang High School 337-8 Yeogang-ro, Buknae-myeon, Yeoju-si, Gyeonggi-do 경기도 여주시 북내면 여강로 337-8 EXO's Kai has dipped his hand on acting and this is his first major project, I suppose. Paired with model-turned-actress Kim Jinkyung, Kai plays the role of Lee Si Kyung, a high school student who really does bad in school but is nonetheless, a good person. As this Korean drama is a youth-oriented program with students for its main characters, it is just right that most of the scenes were filmed in a school. And in this case, scenes are filmed in Yeogang High School in Gyeonggi. I am yet to watch the full episodes but as Kai is a top star, I think the Korean drama filming locations were concentrated on this area only. Let's see. :) IMPORTANT NOTE: This post may not be 100% accurate .

As EXO has finally come back (albeit 9 members), slaying all others with its title track, Love Me Right, I couldn't help but feel extremely elated. They're up to some of the biggest names in the KPOP history but I think they're gonna make it. Love Me Right has this intriguing, addicting and impressive appeal that draws listeners to it. So I'm betting that it's really gonna be at par with all else in the music scene today. Now, as the album came out, photos naturally were scanned and uploaded on the internet. I have found some from FY-EXO . Some of the scans are from BabyLove   and OLIV . And while I'm very much in love with the quality of the shoot, I think I was more interested on the fact that it was shot in Yongma Land . YONGMA LAND 118 Mangu-ro 70-gil, Jungrang-gu, Seoul  (서울 중랑구 망우로70길 118) To those who don't know, Yongma Land is actually an abandoned amusement park in Seoul. 'Abandoned' may sound like a little creepy but altho...

Yeongnamnu Pavillion 324 Jungang-ro, Miryang-si, Gyeongnam-do 경남 밀양시 중앙로 324 Sehun must have been really stressed these days that he really decided to go around places to relax. Or he might have gone there for work? Or these pictures on his Instagram were taken way way back? I don't know. I don't care. What matters is that he chose to post it all and I'm glad because I think I found another place to visit when I finally travel to Seoul . Prior to his post about Kim Gwangseok Street, he uploaded this photo with a caption #영남루. Yeongnamru Pavilion is the place. According to history, the pavilion was built during the Goryeo Dynasty (14th century). The piece had burned twice but was reconstructed to its legitimate glory. The Yeongnamru Pavilion is actually a perfect example of the beautiful Korean architecture. It is surrounded by a lake (or river?) which is crossed by a charming bridge that is seen in the background of Sehun's photo. For more pictures, y...

Kim Gwangseok Street Daebong-dong, Jung-gu, Daegu 대구 중구 대봉동 Three days ago, we were spammed by EXO's Oh Sehun with several pictures on his official Instagram account.   Since I was very busy with work and other church stuff, it's only now that I got to ponder on where he was. And when I saw this picture, I instantly asked myself: WHAT WAS HE DOING IN DAEGU? If you have watched Hyde, Jekyll & I , you would notice that this is where this was its Korean drama filming location.  It is called the Kim Gwangseok Street.  It was a narrow street in the province which is dedicated to the late singer, Kim Gwangseok. On the walls are different murals, installations and posters that features the life and accomplishment of the music icon. When I saw this picture, the thought really excited me. Because if you noticed on this previous post , I said there that I want to do something like this for SJ and EXO . And then all of a sudden, Sehun's here. If that's...

LAMBORGHINI PENSION HOUSE Daebudo Pension Town 4 Chamsaribeonyeong-gil, Danwon-gu, Ansan-si, Gyeonggi (경기 안산시 단원구 참살이번영길 4) www.ddtown.co.kr It will be very irresponsible of me if I won't justify my long absence. Aside from being so busy with my new work (FINALLY!), I couldn't work on anything without actually finding first this location for EXO 's new web drama EXO NEXT DOOR.  After weeks of rigorous searching, I found out that the beautiful house in which Chanyeol, D.O., Sehun and Baekhyun are living at is actually called the LAMBORGHINI Pension House. It is located in Daebudo Pension Town , a village that features breathtaking houses that people can rent for vacations and as Korean drama filming locations. Now, please bear in mind that the interior shots were actually taken in SMTOWN Studio , the same studio where CALL ME BABY MV was filmed. Only the necessary establishing and exterior scenes were filmed in Ansan. To see how the Lamborghini P...

OKAYYYY. So I'm gonna take this one seriously. CART is a Korean movie which was based on a true story. Meaning, it really happened. On 2007, cashiers of the supermarket chain E.Land Mart Retail indeed formed a union and staged rallies after being dismissed from their work unjustly. The protest went on for 510 days.  I don't know if the side stories were actually true but the huge possibility is there. Every person struggling has a story to tell, after all. I have to admit that it was because of Do Kyungsoo which made me watch it. I loved his performance in It's Okay, It's Love so I thought that I should give this one a chance. The fact that it premiered on renowned film fests like the Busan International Film Festival and Toronto International Film Festival (and soon on the Hawaii International Film Festival) was a major contributing factor to my interest.  Surely, it didn't disappoint. With its true-to-life plot, CART indeed revealed a side...

THOSE TEAAAAAAAAAAARSSSSS. Okay. I'm calming down. Discover why he's called the 'Muggle King' (coined by fans!) by yourself. I'm just gonna tell you where majority of the music video was filmed: YONGMA LAND 118 Mangu-ro 70-gil, Jungrang-gu, Seoul  (서울 중랑구 망우로70길 118) I have previously ID-ed this amazing Korean drama filming site before. Thanks to Juniel and Jonghyun's music video . The place piqued my interest so much because who would have thought that it is actually an abandoned amusement park, right? Yup. It's abandoned and while it should be creepy and whatnot, it is actually used in K...

English Village 1779 Beomheung-ri, Tanhyeon-myeon, Paju-si, Gyeonggi-do (경기 파주시 탄현면 법흥리 1779)  I'M BACK!!!!!!!! I'm so sorry for neglecting this blog for so long. I was too busy with real life. And now, I'm making it up to all of you guys by bringing this out! Just recently, Lay starred in the remake of the Missing You MV with SM Rookies Taeyong. They showed it via their new show: EXO 90:2014. To be very, very honest, I am yet to watch an episode of the new Korean variety show but I'm gonna find time to watch everything soon! So in this new MV, Lay and Taeyong were in the English Village Paju Camp. Yep, the same place where they filmed Miracles in December . As I've said repeatedly, it's a famous filming location even before. This is one of my most favorite tourist spots in Korea and I'm hoping you're liking it too. Super Junior filmed U in here too so yeah. :) What do you think of this place? ...
