Netflix's #1 non-English show turned Daegu into its school-action universe — most 'schools' in the drama are real, working schools, so this page tells you what you can actually visit.

The filming-site identifications come from third-party scene reports. For a visit, focus on public streets and confirm university access; the two active high schools are not tourist stops.

1Keimyung University, Daemyung Campus

Filming evidence: Reported, scene unverified

Stands in for Chukmyeong Foreign Language High School in episode 4 — the red-brick colonnade and clock tower read instantly on screen.

Address
104 Myeongdeok-ro, Nam-gu, Daegu (Daemyung Campus)
Getting there
Daegu Metro Line 1 to Yeungnam University Hospital Station, then a short walk; from Seoul, KTX to Dongdaegu (1h40m) then metro.
📍 Google Maps 🗺 Naver Map

💡 The one school location you can walk freely — it's a university campus open to visitors, and by far the most photogenic stop on this list.

2Daegu Sangwon High School

Filming evidence: Reported, scene unverified

The drama's 'Daehan High School', where episode 1's classroom confrontations unfold.

Address
Sangwon-ro, Dalseo-gu, Daegu
Getting there
Daegu Metro Line 1, then local bus — but see the tip before planning a visit.

💡 An active school, not a visitor stop. Do not enter the grounds or photograph students.

3Wonhwa Girls' High School

Filming evidence: Reported, scene unverified

Episode 3's 'Soyeon Girls' High School' exterior and gate scenes.

Address
Dalseo-gu, Daegu
Getting there
Local bus from central Daegu.

💡 An active school, not a visitor stop. Do not plan an exterior photo visit during the school day.

4Suwon Convention Center

Filming evidence: Reported, scene unverified

The venue for Assemblyman Ryu Gwang-pil's book-launch event — the glass atrium is unmistakable.

Address
140 Gwanggyo jungang-ro, Yeongtong-gu, Suwon, Gyeonggi
Getting there
Shinbundang Line to Gwanggyo Jungang Station, 5-minute walk.
📍 Google Maps 🗺 Naver Map

💡 A public convention center — the exterior and lakeside Gwanggyo Lake Park next door make it an easy add-on to a Suwon day trip.

5Sejong Government Complex & Urban Symbol Plaza

Filming evidence: Reported, scene unverified

Multiple background sequences use Sejong's administrative cityscape — the government complex's rooftop garden line and the city's central plaza.

Address
Sejong Special Self-Governing City
Getting there
KTX/SRT to Osong then BRT bus into Sejong, or intercity bus from Seoul Nambu Terminal.
📍 Google Maps 🗺 Naver Map

💡 Only worth the trip for completists — but local press confirmed the shoots, and the complex's rooftop garden is a legit sight in its own right.

What you’re actually visiting

Teach You a Lesson (참교육), from the hit Naver webtoon, shot its fictional problem schools across real, working schools in Daegu — which makes this an unusual pilgrimage. The rule of thumb: Keimyung University is the visitable star; the high schools are context, not visitor stops. Suwon and Sejong fill out the non-school locations.

Suggested route

Doing this as a fan trip, base it on Daegu (KTX 1h40m from Seoul): Keimyung’s Daemyung campus in the morning, a walk through public Daegu streets, and the city’s food scene (the city is Korea’s noodle capital) as the actual reward. The Suwon Convention Center folds into our Suwon day trip instead — it’s two stops from Hwaseong on the same line network.

A note on school locations

Korean schools do not allow drop-in visitors, and residents have pushed back on drama tourists at several past filming locations. Skip active school grounds and gates entirely; do not photograph students. The drama’s buzz is fresh — be the fan who keeps these spots open to the next one.

Which Teach You a Lesson location can you actually walk around?

Keimyung University's Daemyung Campus is the one you can walk freely — it stands in for Chukmyeong Foreign Language High School in episode 4, with a red-brick colonnade and clock tower, and it is an open university campus. The high schools are active schools, so leave them out of a visitor itinerary.

Reports identify Daegu Sangwon High School, an active school. The classroom is not open to visitors; do not visit the campus or photograph students.

Where was the book-launch event scene filmed?

Assemblyman Ryu Gwang-pil's book-launch event was filmed at the Suwon Convention Center, whose glass atrium is unmistakable. It is a public venue, a 5-minute walk from Gwanggyo Jungang Station on the Shinbundang Line, next to Gwanggyo Lake Park.

How do you get to the Daegu filming locations from Seoul?

Take the KTX from Seoul to Dongdaegu (about 1 hour 40 minutes), then Daegu Metro Line 1. Keimyung's Daemyung Campus is near Yeungnam University Hospital Station; the high schools are reached by local bus but are exterior-viewing stops only.
