THE Goblin scene — where Ji Eun-tak first summons the Goblin by the sea, holding a bouquet of buckwheat flowers. Fans line up to recreate the exact shot, red scarf and all.
KTX to Gangneung (about 2 hours), then local transport to Yeongjin Beach. The road address is opposite the filming breakwater; do not navigate to Jumunjin harbour.
💡 A photo stand marks the framing. Weekday mornings may have shorter queues. Visitor reports describe free bouquet-and-scarf loans at nearby shops; ask on the day.
Goblin keeps drawing visitors to the Yeongjin Beach breakwater near Jumunjin. Visitor reports describe queues at the filming breakwater, a nearby alternative photo point and prop loans at some shops. If you’re building a Gangwon coast day trip, this pairs with Gyeongpo Beach and a Chodang sundubu (soft tofu) lunch; check transport between stops.
Milal Museum of Art is also a documented filming site, but a commonly repeated visitor statistic needs context: Korea Culture & Information Service reported that the foreign population present around the museum rose 195% between 2019 and 2021. That measure includes residents, commuters and tourists; it is not a count of museum visitors or proof that the drama caused the change.
Suggested half-day route (Seoul spots)
Bukchon Hanok Village after 10:00 → walk down through Insadong for lunch → Line 3 to Daecheong for Milal Museum of Art, if its exhibition is open to visitors. Confirm entry before adding the museum to your day; the site is within a school complex.
Frequently asked questions
Where was Goblin filmed?
Goblin's most famous locations include the Yeongjin Beach breakwater near Jumunjin in Gangneung, Bukchon Hanok Village in Seoul, and the red-brick Milal Fine Art Museum in Gangnam.
Where is the breakwater scene in Goblin?
The scene where Ji Eun-tak first summons the Goblin with buckwheat flowers was filmed at the Yeongjin Beach breakwater near Jumunjin, Gangneung. Search for 영진해변 rather than Jumunjin harbour. A photo stand marks the framing; visitor reports describe free prop loans at some nearby shops, subject to availability.
How do you get to the Jumunjin breakwater from Seoul?
Take the KTX from Seoul to Gangneung (about 2 hours), then check local transport to Yeongjin Beach. Haean-ro 1609 is a roadside navigation point opposite the filming breakwater, not a harbor address. Weekday mornings may be quieter.
Can you visit the Milal Museum filming site?
Milal Museum of Art at 90 Ilwon-ro, Gangnam-gu is documented as a Goblin filming site. Take Line 3 to Daecheong Station, Exit 4, then check the current route. The museum is within the Milal School complex, so confirm exhibition access with the venue before entering. The exact filmed scene needs separate confirmation.
Where in Bukchon Hanok Village was Goblin filmed?
The traditional alleyways where the Goblin and the Grim Reaper take their walks between eras are in the Gyedong-gil area of Bukchon, Jongno-gu. Take Anguk Station (Line 3), Exit 2, about 5 minutes on foot — but it's a residential neighborhood with enforced quiet hours, so enter the Red Zone only between 10:00 and 17:00.
