Haebangchon Village

Haebangchon got its name when displaced people who left their hometowns with Korea's liberation in 1945, people returning from abroad, and people fleeing the war settled on the hillside below Namsan. A village spanning Yongsan-dong 1-ga and Yongsan-dong 2-ga in Yongsan-gu around Namsan in Seoul, Haebangchon is one of Seoul's representative hillside neighborhoods (daldongne); it was designated a Yongsan redevelopment district in 1979 and housing construction projects were carried out, yet it retains the look of a hillside neighborhood with narrow alleys and slopes. In 2021, through the Yongsan-gu urban regeneration project, the environment was improved so that tourists can visit the village along themed routes, and an inclined elevator was installed at Haebangchon's landmark '108 Stairs.' As it became known as a filming location for many productions, including the dramas <My Name is Kim Sam-soon>, <Itaewon Class>, <When the Camellia Blooms>, and a <Sony camera commercial>, it draws a steady stream of visitors.
