(Transport · Free Tips · Nearby Sights · Stays · Thumbnail)
Meta description (≤160):
See the giant 3D screen from K-Pop Demon Hunters. Easy subway access, free entry, and quick add-ons like a library and a temple—cover it in 1–2 hours.
Hook
Short time, big visuals. This open plaza in Gangnam is where the opening sequence hits—Rumi’s HUNTR/X “Golden” on the curved 3D screen. Free, photogenic, and simple to bundle with nearby spots.
Bottom line: A free, accessible filming-location stop that nails the K-Pop Demon Hunters vibe. Pair it with the library and temple for a tight Gangnam loop.
