Seoul city, tourism agency launch travel package for 'KPop Demon Hunters' fans to tour iconic spots, train like idols
As “KPop Demon Hunters” continues to draw global buzz week after week, Seoul is offering fans the chance to step into the world of their favorite characters.
The Seoul Metropolitan Government has added a special experience to its “Seoul Quality Tour Program,” a city-backed initiative aimed at promoting high-end cultural tourism and encouraging visitors to stay longer in the capital. The program highlights 10 curated packages launched earlier this year, each designed to showcase the city’s mix of tradition and modern culture — from palace tours to food and K-drama experiences.
For fans of K-pop and the Netflix film, local travel agency Sunny Seoul Korea is offering two themed tours. One of them, “Dance, Create & Dive In,” is a one-day program that takes travelers to a local dance studio to learn choreography inspired by the film’s heroines — Rumi, Mira and Zoey — and perform to the movie’s signature track, “Golden.”
Seoul officials hope the tours will not only entertain, but also give visitors a deeper way to connect with Korean culture beyond what they see on screen.
A 1 1/2-hour English dance class will be led by professional K-pop dancers, who will guide tour participants through the choreography of “Golden” and “Soda Pop” step-by-step.
Tourists can also choose other music to dance to from a list of popular K-pop tracks. Participants receive a K-pop dance certificate after completing the class as well.
The guide will take participants to a local restaurant where people can taste the country’s beloved bunsik — inexpensive street food ranging from gimbap and tteokbokki to ramyeon — just like characters in the animated film.
Tourists can not only discover the cultural roots behind “KPop Demon Hunters” at the National Museum of Korea, but also take in the beautiful atmosphere of hanok, traditional Korean houses, at Bukchon Hanok Village.
For those who wish to explore Seoul’s other iconic travel spots featured in the the movie, travel the city with an English-speaking guide on “Tracing the World of ‘Kpop Demon Hunters.’”
Overseas visitors will be able to explore every corner of the capital: from the Coex convention center, where Huntrix debuts “Golden,” and Jamsil Olympic Stadium in southern Seoul, to Naksan Park's winding trails — where main characters Rumi and Jinu met at night — overlooking the Daehangno theater district in northern Seoul.
While Bukchon Hanok Village, a special place where Rumi and Jinu open up to each other, is included in the program, “Tracing the World of ‘KPop Demon Hunters’” also takes participants to the N Seoul Tower atop Namsan, arguably the city’s No. 1 landmark.
Hoping to satisfy even the pickiest tourists, the Seoul Metropolitan Government selected nine additional online tour agencies offering outstanding tour programs for fully independent travelers.
Culinary tour lovers can choose either “Flavors of Seoul” to cook handmade noodles with a Korean grandmother and go on a local night market food tour, or try the “Gyeongbokgung & Insa-dong Gastroventure Day Tour” to take part in a kimchi-making program, feast on hanjeongsik, a Korean full-course meal, and taste traditional Korean tea.
Passionate tourists can look for a one-day adventure tour in areas along the Han River or hike Namsan Dullegil — the trail surrounding the mountain at the heart of the city — and Hanyang Fortress Trail. For those who prefer to stay indoors, look for the gallery, museum and cafe tours by travel agencies US Travel Korea and Mindful Trip.
Detailed information on participation fees, dates, refund policies and individual overviews of tour programs is available at the official Seoul tourism website.
