Filming Spots: “King the Land” in Jeju
The TV series “King the Land (2023)” became a hot topic even before it aired due to its casting. Actress Lim Yoona of Girls' Generation, and actor Lee Junho of 2PM, appeared in the series as a couple and received a lot of attention. It ranked first in Netflix's English and non-English TV categories (dated the fourth week of July 2023), and became a box office success due to its topicality. It is a romantic comedy drama about an office romance that takes place in a luxurious palace-like hotel. The sweet love story of a lovely couple unfolds under the blue skies of Jeju Island. You can take a closer look at Jeju Island's nature if you visit the locations where the drama was filmed, including the Jungmun Parnas Jeju Hotel, where the hotel building was filmed, and Gapado Island, where the bicycle date scene took place. You can fully experience the local vibe on the islands that form Jeju Island, called “Jeju within Jeju.”
