Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha 갯마을 차차차

A perfectionist Seoul dentist relocates to the seaside village of Gongjin and collides with Chief Hong, the town's beloved jack-of-all-trades. Comfort television at its warmest.

Why fans make the trip

The fictional Gongjin was assembled from real fishing villages around Pohang. Visiting feels like stepping into the show's hug — slow lanes, a working harbor, and locals who remember the film crew fondly.

Cheongha Traditional Market

The real traditional market that played Gongjin's town center — several storefronts still carry drama-era signage.

KTX to Pohang, then bus 5000/500 toward Cheongha (about 40 min) or a 30-min taxi.
