Busan Course





The bus stop where IU was standing

In the trailer, the bus stop where singer and actress IU Lee Ji-eun stood with a depressed look is the Jeonpo Samgeori bus stop. Right in front of the bus stop, there are two public phone booths where she used to call the police. Red bricks, faded murals, slanted electric poles, and narrow sidewalks make it a photo spot as it is undecorated.

A place full of unique cafes

It is a street that has regained its vitality as cafes and restaurants enter the alleys of a decaying city center lined with tool shops. It is now called "Jeonridan-gil" and has become the most popular place in Seomyeon. Every narrow alley is full of coffee shops, restaurants, accessory shops, and workshops that you want to visit at least once. The Jeonpo subway station is convenient for transportation, and the Jeonpo Cafe Street area has recently been designated as a pedestrian priority road, so it is perfect for a leisurely stroll.

A meaningful place with a baby box

It is the location where the church scene with the baby box was filmed, and is impressive enough to be the starting point of the story. The name in the play was "Busan Family Church." It shows the hilly terrain of Busan well, and the exterior with more than 40 years of history matches the mood of the movie. If you walk down the road, you can see the murals that appeared in the play and the friendly townscape.
