Jinso Village

Before the filming of the movie, this place was so remote that you had to get off at the nearest station and walk along the railway tracks to reach it. In front of the former Aeryeon branch school, which has been renovated into a Korean literature museum, a large zelkova tree, seemingly hundreds of years old, stands. Turning left and walking down a narrow path, you suddenly come across two railway bridges spanning a large stream. This is the place where, at the beginning and end of the movie, the protagonist, Young-ho, stood on the railway tracks and cried out, "I want to go back!" This iconic scene, which vividly portrays the tragic and painful history of Korean society in the 1980s, remains a popular tourist destination.
