Yangjae Citizen's Forest Station양재시민의숲역
The quiet Sinbundang Line platform where Squid Game's Recruiter plays ddakji with Gi-hun. The adjacent Citizens' Forest park makes it a pleasant, low-key pilgrimage.
Appears in
“The platform where the Recruiter challenges Gi-hun to ddakji — the slap heard around the world.”
Recreate the shot: The ddakji recruitment scene lives on the station bench. Any quiet bench on the platform reads correctly on camera — bring a folded blue and red ddakji (stationery stores sell them) as the prop that makes the photo.
There now: A working commuter station (Sinbundang line): shoot quickly between trains, keep clear of the platform edge, and skip rush hour entirely.
