Squid Game Season 2 Filming Locations in Seoul (that you can actually visit!)

ByRoseanne Ducut

Most of Squid Game season 2 was filmed on sets, but a handful of real locations around Seoul appear in the show—and you can visit them.

I’ve been to dozens of kdrama filming locations across Korea, and these are especially fun because they’re close to popular Seoul attractions.

Here are 8 filming locations from Squid Game season 2 that you can actually see in person.

These are in order of appearance in season 2, and most appear in the first two episodes, with the remaining episodes filmed at Daejeon Expo Science Park and Seongapdo Island.

Located in the city of Incheon, this is South Korea’s main international airport, and about an hour’s ride from downtown Seoul.

Scene in show: In the opening scene of season 2, Incheon Airport is shown when Gi-hun decides not to board his flight to Los Angeles, a key moment in the story.

2. Pink Motel – Gi‑hun’s Hideout

While Pink Motel appears to be a set constructed just for the show, you can still visit the area. A clever redditer found the exact location.

Scene in show: Pink Motel serves as Gi-hun’s hideout and base for operations shown throughout the beginning of season 2.

3. Jonggak and Oksu Station – The Salesman Scenes

A few subway stations were featured in season 2, including Oksu, Jonggak, and Dobongsan stations.

Scene in show: The stations appear during scenes where Gi-hun’s hired crew look for The Salesman, who recruits players for the game.

SPOILER:

It was at Jonggak station where they finally come across The Salesman.

4. Tapgol Park – Bread vs Scratch‑Off Moment

Situated in the Jongno district, this park features a stone pagoda and marks the site of Korea’s March 1st Independence Movement.

Scene in show: This is where The Salesman (actor Gong Yoo) offers homeless people in the park the choice between bread or a lottery scratcher. When most choose the scratcher, he stomps and destroys the bread in front of them.

Note: There are homeless communities here, so be mindful when visiting.

5. Seoul Land – Guard 011 + Player 246 Scenes

Main Locations in Season 2 You Can’t Visit

This is where they filmed some of the main exterior shots for season two, including looking for the game’s secret locations.

Seongapdo Island is a private island, so you won’t be able to visit.

📍 Daejeon Expo Science Park

While this science park is open to the public, you won’t see the actual filming sets, which were temporary shooting locations for Squid Game season 2.

Have fun visiting the locations and I recommend giving Squid Game season 2 a re-watch right before visiting!
