The stairs the Kim family run down in the pouring rain after slipping out of the Parks' house when the Parks return early from their cancelled camping trip.
Visitor information
The farthest from a subway station on the Parasite route Seoul promoted in 2020. From Gyeongbokgung Station (Line 3) Exit 3, take a bus to the "Jahamun Tunnel Entrance / Seokpajeong" stop. Since 2021 the retaining wall beside the tunnel carries the public artwork "Suddenly, Inwangsan".
Etiquette
The stairs and pavement are narrow and right beside traffic. Do not linger mid-stair or step into the road. Homes in Buam-dong are close by, so keep noise down.
