The episode-7 hackberry tree was designated a national Natural Monument after the show aired — a drama literally rewrote Korea's heritage list.

1Dongbu Village Hackberry Tree (the 'Sodeok-dong' tree)

The 500-year-old paengnamu at the heart of episodes 7–8, where the village fights the road project. Now a designated Natural Monument.

Address
102-1 Bukbu-ri, Daesan-myeon, Uichang-gu, Changwon-si, Gyeongsangnam-do
Getting there
KTX to Changwon Jungang Station, then taxi or local bus toward Daesan-myeon (30–40 minutes); the village signs point the way.

💡 A tiny village of about 70 residents — visit quietly and don't block the farm roads. The hilltop view over the fields is the drama's iconic shot.

2Centerfield Building (Hanbada exterior)

The Teheran-ro tower used as law firm Hanbada — including the revolving door Young-woo conquers with Jun-ho's 'waltz' timing.

Address
231 Teheran-ro, Yeoksam-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul
Getting there
Line 2 to Yeoksam Station, short walk along Teheran-ro.

💡 A working office building — photograph the lobby and doors discreetly from public areas.

3Woo Young Woo Kimbap exterior (Kazaguruma, Suwon)

The exterior of her father's kimbap shop, seen throughout the series — in real life a small Japanese restaurant in Suwon's Haenggung-dong old town.

Address
61 Sinpung-ro 23beon-gil, Paldal-gu, Suwon-si, Gyeonggi
Getting there
Line 1 or Suin-Bundang Line to Suwon Station, then a 10–15 minute bus or taxi to the Hwaseong Haenggung area.

💡 You're inside UNESCO-listed Hwaseong Fortress territory — walk the wall while you're here.

4Deoksugung Stonewall Walkway

Young-woo and Jun-ho's episode-10 walk along the palace wall — one of the show's most-cited romantic backdrops.

Address
Sejong-daero 19-gil, Jung-gu, Seoul (along the Deoksugung wall)
Getting there
Lines 1/2 to City Hall Station, Exit 2 — the path starts beside the palace gate.

💡 Late-afternoon light matches the scene; palace entry is only ₩1,000.

5Soso Bar (Dong Geu-ra-mi's bar)

The neighborhood bar where Geu-ra-mi works — home of the 'Woo to the Young to the Woo' greeting.

Address
8-10 Gangseong-ro 232beon-gil, Ilsanseo-gu, Goyang-si, Gyeonggi
Getting there
Line 3 to the Jeongbalsan/Juyeop area in Ilsan, then a short taxi or bus.

💡 A real operating bar — check hours, and order a drink if you're taking photos.

What’s real and what’s a set

Hanbada’s offices and the kimbap shop interior were studio sets — the exteriors above are the visitable pieces. The whale animations, sadly, remain unavailable at any address.

The Changwon pilgrimage

The hackberry tree is this drama’s true destination: a two-hour KTX plus a country bus, rewarded with the exact hilltop frame from the finale of episode 8. It’s the rare filming location that the drama itself made into protected national heritage — the visit doubles as a look at how K-content reshapes rural Korea.

Where is the hackberry tree in Extraordinary Attorney Woo?

The 500-year-old paengnamu from episodes 7–8 stands at Dongbu Village, at 102-1 Bukbu-ri, Daesan-myeon, Uichang-gu, Changwon-si, Gyeongsangnam-do. After the show aired it was designated a national Natural Monument. It's a tiny village of about 70 residents, so visit quietly and don't block the farm roads.
