Twenty-Five Twenty-One

스물다섯 스물하나

Choose the Jeonju memory you want to walk into.

A short tunnel carries the drama’s emotional weight, while the surrounding hanok district lets youth, food and older city textures coexist without becoming a frozen set.

Time boundary · 2–3 hours
Add the final bus/taxi connection to the selected visit time, plus both intercity journeys if coming from another city. Check the last return, seats and pickup before buying admission; a short visit does not make the journey short.
Rain / changed plans
Omit the lower stream path in rain or closures. Keep open street-level shops/cafés only where safely reachable, then return from the street-level area via the listed hub. Do not rejoin the closed lower path downstream.

Hanbyeok Tunnel

한벽굴 · Jeonju, Jeollabuk-do

The 60-metre passage is small enough to feel personal and open enough to remain part of daily Jeonju.

FROM THE SCREEN

KTO confirms the tunnel for multiple romantic and emotional scenes, including encouragement and separation.

FOR YOUR DAY

Walk in from the hanok village edge; keep recreations brief and leave the local path clear.

Why this day belongs to the storyScreen evidence, cultural context and the moments behind the choice.

THE KOREA IT SHOWED

A remembered year needs more than one preserved frame.

The series appears nostalgic because Jeonju lets several periods remain visible in one walk.

Hanbyeok Tunnel is the verified emotional anchor; the hanok village supplies present-day food, craft and public life around it.

MOMENTS THAT STAY WITH YOU

The screen memory behind the choice.

Each moment separates what the work makes you feel from what a traveler can responsibly experience.

01Light context

Encouragement and goodbye in one tunnel

Hanbyeok Tunnel appears in scenes where the leads encourage each other and later separate.

The same 60-metre passage holds opposite emotions without changing shape.It is a public local path with no parking at the tunnel itself.
02Light context

Youth moving through old Jeonju

The official 4.2 km itinerary links the tunnel to several Jeonju filming traces near the hanok district.

Old roofs and ordinary streets make remembered time feel continuous.Some famous houses or former businesses are private, closed or bookable only under current terms.

KOREA BEHIND THE SCENE

Keep private memories private, even when the exterior is famous.

The best public route uses the tunnel, stream and village; booked lodging and homes need different boundaries.

01

One place can hold two scenes

The tunnel’s meaning changes across the story while the structure stays the same.

Read the sequence instead of collecting duplicate photos.
02

Public route, shared path

Hanbyeok Tunnel remains part of local pedestrian movement.

Keep tripods and groups out of the centre line.
03

The city is still present tense

Jeonju’s hanok district is a working visitor economy, not a youth-drama museum.

Choose current food, craft and public institutions.

REALITY CHECK

What the screen confirms — and what the day still needs.

Filming evidence and live visitor conditions are checked separately so a memorable scene does not become a false promise.
