The Old Seodo Station is located in Nobong Honbul Literary Village on the old Jeolla Line. It is filled with analog sentiments from rusty train tracks to vintage signs. It is the oldest closed wooden structure in Korea. Built in 1932 and shut down in 2008, it had been called the Old Seodo Station before changing its name to “Old Seodo Station Film Set,” which is what it is called today.

As the name suggests, the Old Seodo Station Film Set is a popular filming site of many movies and dramas. One of the most famous dramas is Mr. Sunshine, which aired on tvN in 2018. Even before that, many people know this place as the main stage of Honbul, an epic novel written by Choi Myunghee.
What’s more, it was selected as one of the “Seven Scenic Beauties of Jeonbuk” as well as one of the “Ten Photo Spots in the Culture and Tourism Category” chosen by the city of Namwon.

On one side of the waiting room in the station, stories of the old train station unfold like a film. There are also things to see related to the drama, Mr. Sunshine, and interesting attractions including Seodo Station History Hall where you can rummage through old books, Junk Art path featuring stories of the novel, Honbul, and the residence of the station chief, which is an old Japanese-style house.
