Overview
Walking into the movie “Parasite” with our special Seoul tour
If you are interested in Korean culture in particular and cinema in general, you probably have already known about “Parasite” – the Korean film that just won 4 prestigious Oscars at the 92nd Academy Awards. The movie is not only a great pride of Korean people, but also opened a new page in the history of the global film industry as it became the first international film to win the Oscar’s Best Picture Award.
The filming of “Parasite” took place at the two cities in Korea, Seoul and Jeonju. While Jeonju is the setting most of the indoor scenes, the outdoor setting of the movie was filmed mainly in Seoul, at real locations. So if you are a fan of this masterpiece and happened to be at Seoul this time, this tour is definitely a MUST-GO! Not only do you get to actually set foot on the filming locations of “Parasite”, you will also get a chance to explore Hangang River Park, the setting for “The Host” – another great movie of director Bong Joon-ho!
