Seoul is recorded as a filming location for 66 productions. Wikidata records these shoots at town level: somewhere in Seoul, rather than at one identified spot. Wikipedia names it for 46 more. 1 video game is also set here.

13 productions were filmed at 63 places inside Seoul rather than at Seoul itself: listed below, each with the place it was shot.

“Filming in South Korea began on March 30 on the Mapo Bridge, and continued through April 14 at various locations in Seoul, such as Cheongdam Bridge, Digital Media City, Gangnam Boulevard and road near Kaywon University of Art and Design in Uiwang.”

Video games that take place here. A game is filmed nowhere, so this is where the story is set rather than where a camera stood: a different claim from everything above, and kept under its own heading for that reason.

  • Agents of Mayhem 2017
    “Agents of Mayhem is an action-adventure game played from a third-person perspective and set in an open world based on Seoul, South Korea.” Wikipedia

Set here, per Wikipedia

Games whose English Wikipedia article says they are set in Seoul, where Wikidata’s narrative-location statement stops at the country. Still a setting and not a shoot, and still a sentence rather than a statement: two steps from the strongest evidence on this atlas, and labelled at both.
