  • The Journals of Musan 2011
  • Love Fiction 2012

Filmed here, per Wikipedia

Productions whose English Wikipedia article names Seoul as somewhere it was shot, with no matching statement on Wikidata. Weaker evidence than the statements above, so it gets its own list — each production’s own page links the exact section the claim comes from.

Movies and TV series filmed elsewhere in Seoul

6 productions shot at 31 places inside Seoul, each named beside it. Separate from the list above, which is what Wikidata records against Seoul itself.

19 more places are inside Seoul — see them on the map.

Set here

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.

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.
