A Collection of Filming Locations Outside of Suwon with Seonjae
Destinations that include a bridge that changed fate, a ferris wheel, a swimming pool, and schools across the country
If Suwon's Haenggung-dong takes care of Sol and Seonjae's daily lives, then the filming locations outside Suwon complete major events and stages where their fates take a significant turn.
From the Chuncheon Bridge, which resembles the Han River, to an amusement park where memories are reclaimed, and even the Gimcheon swimming pool that features Seonjae's days as a swimmer, many locations differ between the drama's settings and their actual places.
This collection only includes locations confirmed by public institutions and major media, prioritizing original users and facility operations over tourism at schools, universities, and sports facilities.
Chuncheon Bridge
Scene from the Drama
The actual filming location portrayed as the Han River Bridge in the drama is Chuncheon Bridge. In Episode 1, Seonjae, after finishing a performance, puts a green umbrella over Sol on the snow-covered bridge, which later becomes a key space where the two repeatedly promise and reunite.
Story of the Actual Location
Chuncheon Bridge is a cable-stayed bridge connecting the middle of Lake Uiam and downtown Chuncheon. With its circular main tower and cables, the open view over the water makes it appear like a bridge crossing a large river in Seoul within the work.
Visit Information
The bridge is a vehicle passage and does not have dedicated pedestrian space for filming tourism. Surrounding public spaces like Chuncheon Station, Geunhwa Riverside Park, and Legoland provide safe viewing points of the bridge's landscape.
When Visiting
Stopping on the road like in the drama's scene or filming on the bridge can be very dangerous. Avoid entering the road and only enjoy the view from designated pedestrian pathways and viewing points.
Sapgyoho Amusement Park
Scene from the Drama
This is the amusement park where Sol and Seonjae have a happy time on the ferris wheel. It also appears when 34-year-old Seonjae, who has lost his memory, is drawn back to this place as a reminder of his 20-year-old self, reviving lost time and emotions.
Story of the Actual Location
This small amusement park symbolizes the ferris wheel overlooking the West Sea and Sapgyoho. Unlike large theme parks, entry tickets are purchased individually for each ride, creating a different atmosphere.
Visit Information
According to the Korea Tourism Organization, the operating hours are weekdays 10:30 AM - 9:30 PM and weekends 10:00 AM - 10:00 PM, but these may vary due to weather conditions and facility circumstances. High winds or rain may lead to some rides, including the ferris wheel, being suspended, so check before you head out.
When Visiting
If you are anticipating the ferris wheel scene from the drama, the time around sunset is impressive, but consider the waiting time on weekends. Avoid moving seats or extending equipment outside the window while the ride is in operation.
Gimcheon Indoor Swimming Pool
Scene from the Drama
This location appears in Episode 1 when swimmer Seonjae competes in a match. It showcases the dreams and frustrations of Seonjae before becoming a star on stage and serves as the starting point of his past connected to Sol.
Story of the Actual Location
This public indoor swimming pool located within Gimcheon Sports Town is one of Gimcheon's representative sports facilities where national-scale competitions are held. Following the airing of the drama, the city officially promoted the filming by installing a tourism popup promotional hall here.
Visit Information
The availability of general public swimming and operation hours can vary based on competition, training, and maintenance schedules. Entry for just observing the filming location is not guaranteed, so check the facility's daily usage guidelines.
When Visiting
The swimming pool is a sports facility actively used by athletes and citizens. Filming inside the changing room and pool is restricted, and during competition days, participant pathways and viewing regulations take priority.

Jungang High School
Scene from the Drama
This location features the exterior and scenes of Jagam High School, attended by Sol and Seonjae. The red-brick buildings and old campus contributed to creating the atmosphere of their school days in 2008.
Story of the Actual Location
This private high school located in Bukchon is known as a filming location for various dramas due to its historic teacher's building. It's crucial to remember that it’s an educational space where students attend classes, not a tourist set.
Visit Information
The inside of the school is not a general tourist site, and access for outsiders is restricted based on academic schedules and security regulations. While you can see the exterior from the public roads in Bukchon alley, avoid long stays near the school gates or group visits.
When Visiting
Avoid filming students and staff and stay clear of the school gate during drop-off and pick-up times. Do not enter the school premises without permission or seek out courtyards and hallways to recreate drama scenes.
Dongdaemun Design Plaza
Scene from the Drama
The futuristic facade and spacious public space of DDP were used in the early scenes where Sol visits the Eclipse performance. It plays a role as the first stage where the world of current star Seonjae and longtime fan Sol is introduced.
Story of the Actual Location
Designed by architect Zaha Hadid, the irregularly-shaped building is a representative cultural complex in Seoul where exhibitions, fashion, and design events take place. The city of Seoul officially introduces DDP as one of the filming locations for several works, including Seonjae up and away.
Visit Information
The outdoor space is always accessible, but the operation hours and fees for exhibition and event venues vary by program. During large events or the Seoul Light period, pedestrian pathways and filming zones may change.
When Visiting
The actual installation for the performance scene is not present as it was set up for filming. Explore the building's exterior and space without disrupting event attendees or facility traffic.
Cheonggyecheon
Scene from the Drama
The city of Seoul officially confirmed that Seonjae up and away is among the works filmed at Cheonggyecheon in 2024. However, official materials did not disclose specific bridges or scenes, so this list only records the fact of filming.
Story of the Actual Location
This representative public space in Seoul features restored waterways beneath urban roads, with walkways and various bridges connected. Each section displays a different atmosphere between modern business districts and traditional markets, making it suitable for a variety of video productions.
Visit Information
The walking paths are free to use, but access may be restricted during heavy rain or increased water levels. The coordinates for this item are not for a specific scene point but a representative area near Gwanggyo that is easily accessible, and it cannot be definitively stated as the exact filming section.
When Visiting
The stepping stones and riverside stairs can be slippery when wet, and pedestrian and bicycle traffic may continue. Do not cross control lines in search of scenes, and move to ground-level walkways during inclement weather.

The filming locations outside Suwon are scattered across Seoul, Chuncheon, Dangjin, Daejeon, and Gimcheon, making it more practical to connect one or two places by travel area rather than a single route in one trip.
Chuncheon Bridge is a vehicle passage, while Jungang High School and Chungnam National University are educational spaces. Gimcheon Indoor Swimming Pool is a sports facility, so safety and entry rules must be prioritized over recreating filming scenes.
As operation hours and event schedules may vary, be sure to check the official website just before your visit.
