Guryongpo Village
A Pohang fishing town of cliffside lanes and a Japanese-era heritage street — the real face of Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha's Gongjin, gwamegi capital of Korea.
Dramas filmed at Guryongpo Village
Visiting tips
The drama houses sit a minute apart on the lanes above the harbor — they’re private homes in a lived-in neighborhood, so shoot from the street and keep voices down. The town has embraced its Gongjin identity: signboards and a marked walking course connect the spots.
Guryongpo’s own attraction predates the drama: the Japanese House Street, a preserved 1900s colonial-era fishing quarter, and winter’s gwamegi (half-dried saury) — the town is Korea’s capital of it. Come November–February to eat it the local way, wrapped in seaweed with raw garlic.
What’s nearby
Homigot Sunrise Square — the giant bronze “Hand of Harmony” rising from the sea, Korea’s mainland easternmost point — is 20 minutes up the coast and pairs with Guryongpo for the classic Pohang half-day. The rest of the Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha map (Cheongha Market, Wolpo Beach, the hilltop boat) lies on Pohang’s northern coast, best chained by car or taxi.
