TWICE Travel Guide to Korea: MV Filming Locations, Jeju Spots and Places for ONCE

TWICE has filmed some of its most recognizable videos outside Korea—“LIKEY” in Vancouver and “Dance the Night Away” in Okinawa are two obvious examples. That is why a Korea-only TWICE itinerary needs a little care. Fan-made lists often mix overseas shoots, temporary sets and places that are no longer open to visitors.

This guide keeps the focus on public places in Korea that ONCE can realistically visit today. Some are music-video locations, some come from television and travel content, and a few work best as part of a wider day trip rather than as a five-minute photo stop.

The best TWICE pilgrimage is not the one with the longest checklist. It is the one that lets you recognize a scene, enjoy the place itself and still have enough time left to experience Korea.

1. Yongma Land — “Like OOH-AHH” and the beginning of TWICE

If you want one place that immediately feels connected to TWICE’s early identity, Yongma Land is the obvious starting point.

The old amusement park in Jungnang-gu was used for the “Like OOH-AHH” music video, including the carousel imagery that became one of the debut era’s most recognizable visuals. The park is no longer a normal amusement park. Instead, its faded rides and retro atmosphere are used as an outdoor photo and filming location.

That is part of what makes it interesting for fans. You are not visiting a modern theme park that happened to appear in one shot; you are stepping into a place whose faded, slightly abandoned look helped define the mood of the music video.

Address: 118, Mangu-ro 70-gil, Jungnang-gu, Seoul.

Best for: debut-era ONCE, photography and fans who want the clearest TWICE MV stop inside Seoul.

Practical note: Yongma Land may close or restrict access when the property is being rented for filming, so check current visitor conditions before traveling across the city. Korea Tourism Organization identifies it as a “Like OOH-AHH” filming location and notes that public visits are possible when the site is not reserved.

2. Goyang Stadium — the large-scale “CHEER UP” scenes

“CHEER UP” jumps between several visual concepts, and one of the easiest real-world locations to identify is Goyang Stadium in Gyeonggi-do.

The stadium appears in the large outdoor sequences, giving the video a scale that is hard to recreate in a studio. The field itself is not a place fans can simply walk onto, but the complex is still a useful stop for people who want to see the setting in person.

Goyang also hosts sports and entertainment events, so it is worth checking whether anything is scheduled on the day you visit. On event days, access around the stadium can be more restricted.

Address: 1601, Jungang-ro, Ilsanseo-gu, Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-do.

Best for: “CHEER UP” fans and travelers already visiting Ilsan or northwestern Seoul.

I would not make this the only reason for a long day trip. It works best when combined with another stop in Goyang or Ilsan.

3. Yangjae Stream Cherry Blossom Road — Mina’s “CHEER UP” scene

Another “CHEER UP” location has a completely different mood.

Mina’s school-uniform scene beneath cherry blossoms was filmed along Yangjae Stream. The stream is a long public walking route through southern Seoul, and in spring the cherry blossom sections become especially popular.

This is one of the better TWICE stops for first-time visitors because it works just as well as a normal Seoul outing. You can walk, sit by the stream and fit it naturally into a day in the Gangnam area.

Best season: spring, when the cherry blossoms are in bloom.

Best for: Mina fans, “CHEER UP” fans and travelers who prefer scenic walks to formal attractions.

Seoul’s official tourism guide has identified the Yangjae Stream cherry blossom lane as the location used for Mina’s scene.

4. Geumoreum in Jeju — the strange landscape of “SIGNAL”

For “SIGNAL,” TWICE moved away from the familiar city look and into one of Jeju’s volcanic landscapes.

Geumoreum is one of Jeju’s parasitic volcanic cones, or oreum, and its open crater landscape appears in the music video. The location fits “SIGNAL” particularly well because it already looks slightly otherworldly without any set construction.

The climb is not especially long compared with Jeju’s bigger hikes, but this is still an outdoor trail. Weather matters. Wind, rain and muddy ground can change the experience quickly.

Location: Geumak-ri, Hallim-eup, Jeju-si, Jeju-do.

Best for: “SIGNAL” fans, hikers and visitors who want a TWICE location that also feels uniquely Jeju.

This is the kind of place where comfortable shoes matter more than recreating the exact outfit from the music video.

5. The Cliff Jeju — “Alcohol-Free” with the real ocean behind it

“Alcohol-Free” is one of TWICE’s strongest summer concepts, and one of the reasons the video works so well is that the seaside atmosphere is not entirely artificial.

The Cliff, a real café and lounge in the Jungmun area of Seogwipo, was used for the music video. The venue overlooks the coast and still operates as a visitor business, making it one of the easiest TWICE locations to experience without guessing where a scene was shot.

This is a good example of a pilgrimage stop that still works even if nobody else in your group follows K-pop. You can sit by the sea, have a drink or a meal and enjoy the view instead of treating the location as a backdrop to check off quickly.

Address: 154-17, Jungmungwangwang-ro, Seogwipo-si, Jeju-do.

Best for: “Alcohol-Free” fans, Jeju trips and travelers who want a relaxed sunset stop.

Visit Jeju identifies The Cliff as the “Alcohol-Free” filming location. Hours can change seasonally, so check the venue before going.

6. Chuncheon Bridge — the finale of “ONE SPARK”

“ONE SPARK” gave TWICE a more cinematic, grown-up visual style, and the bridge seen in the final sequence is a real place in Chuncheon.

Chuncheon Bridge is known for its modern design and becomes especially striking after dark when its structure is illuminated. The location works best as part of a Chuncheon trip rather than as a single out-and-back stop from Seoul.

Chuncheon itself is easy to turn into a full day with the lake, cafés and nearby attractions, so this is another example where the fan connection can lead to a genuinely good travel day.

Address area: Yeongseo-ro, Chuncheon-si, Gangwon State.

Best for: “ONE SPARK” fans, evening photography and travelers already planning a Chuncheon day trip.

Safety note: use proper pedestrian viewing areas. Do not stop on active roadways or unsafe shoulders to recreate the shot.

7. Yangpyeong Paragliding Park — a TWICE experience you can actually try

Not every fan destination needs to come from a music video.

TWICE visited Yangpyeong for a Korean television travel segment and tried paragliding at Yangpyeong Paragliding Park. Korea Tourism Organization now includes the location in an official TWICE-themed Yangpyeong itinerary.

This is one of the most interesting stops on the list because you can recreate the type of experience, not just the photo. The launch area overlooks the Namhan River and surrounding mountains, and tandem flights are available through local operators.

Best for: adventurous ONCE, couples or friends traveling together, and anyone who wants a fan trip to include an actual activity.

Important: paragliding depends heavily on weather. Reservations can be delayed or canceled for safety reasons, so do not build the rest of your day around an exact flight time.

8. Sangchongyegok Valley — a quieter TWICE stop in Yangpyeong

The same official Yangpyeong route includes Sangchongyegok Valley, where the TWICE members spent time in the water during the program.

This is a very different kind of fan location from Yongma Land or The Cliff. There is no giant visual marker telling you that TWICE was there. The appeal is the landscape and the memory of the members enjoying a more ordinary countryside day.

The valley makes the most sense in warm weather and should be approached as a nature stop first. Water levels, weather and local access can change after heavy rain.

Best for: fans who enjoy TWICE’s variety and travel content more than only MV locations.

Combine it with: another Yangpyeong attraction rather than traveling from Seoul for the valley alone.

9. Dumulmeori — the best way to turn Yangpyeong into a full fan day

Dumulmeori is not included here as a claim that a specific TWICE music-video scene was filmed there. It is included because Korea Tourism Organization places it inside the same recommended Yangpyeong travel course built around TWICE’s visit to the region.

The name means “two water heads,” referring to the point where the Bukhan and Namhan rivers meet. The riverside, old zelkova tree and morning mist make it one of the best-known landscapes near Seoul.

This is exactly the kind of nearby attraction that makes a fan pilgrimage more worthwhile. If you are already traveling to Yangpyeong for the paragliding or valley connection, adding Dumulmeori turns a niche K-pop stop into a complete day trip.

Best for: photography, quiet walking and travelers who want to balance fandom with local scenery.

10. JYP Entertainment in Gangdong — a connection, not a sightseeing attraction

JYP Entertainment is part of the TWICE story, and Korea Tourism Organization lists the company’s Gangdong headquarters among locations associated with current K-pop artists.

But this is a working office building. That distinction matters.

If you are already in the area, seeing the exterior from a public space can be meaningful. What does not make sense is waiting around entrances, blocking sidewalks or treating the building as a place where a member is expected to appear.

Address: 205 Gangdong-daero, Gangdong-gu, Seoul.

Best for: a brief agency-related stop only if it fits naturally into your route.

For most ONCE, Yongma Land or the actual filming locations provide a much better travel experience.

Two famous TWICE MVs you should not look for in Korea

One of the most useful things a fan guide can do is tell you when a location is not in Korea.

“LIKEY” — Vancouver, Canada

The “LIKEY” music video was filmed in Vancouver, including recognizable waterfront and downtown locations. If a Korean travel post labels a random Seoul alley or waterfront as a “LIKEY” location, be skeptical.

“Dance the Night Away” — Okinawa, Japan

The beach scenes from “Dance the Night Away” were filmed in Okinawa, not on Jeju or another Korean island. Korea has many beautiful beaches, but substituting one of them and calling it the original filming location is inaccurate.

Keeping those distinctions clear makes the real Korean locations more valuable, not less.

How to choose your TWICE route

If this is your first ONCE trip to Seoul

Start with Yongma Land. Add Yangjae Stream if you are spending time in southern Seoul, and only include the JYP exterior if it is already on your route.

If your favorite era is early TWICE

Yongma Land and the two “CHEER UP” locations are the strongest choices. They connect directly to the group’s first two years and are all in the Seoul metropolitan area.

If you are going to Jeju

Make Geumoreum and The Cliff the core TWICE stops. They are different enough that the day does not feel repetitive: one is an outdoor volcanic hike and the other is a coastal café and lounge.

If you want a one-day trip outside Seoul

Choose Yangpyeong for paragliding, rivers and countryside scenery, or Chuncheon if “ONE SPARK” matters more to you.

A realistic two-day TWICE Seoul plan

Day 1 — Early TWICE: Yongma Land → lunch in eastern Seoul → Yangjae Stream in the late afternoon if the season and travel time make sense.

Day 2 — A regional choice: Yangpyeong for paragliding and riverside scenery, or Goyang Stadium if you are already visiting Ilsan.

If you have a Jeju trip planned, keep the Jeju locations for a separate island itinerary rather than trying to force them into a Seoul fan route.

A simple TWICE Jeju day

Morning: hike Geumoreum while the weather is cooler.

Afternoon: explore western or southern Jeju depending on where you are staying.

Late afternoon or evening: The Cliff in Jungmun for the “Alcohol-Free” connection and ocean view.

Driving is the easiest way to connect spread-out Jeju locations. If you are relying on buses, check travel times carefully before committing to several stops.

Before visiting a TWICE fan location

  • Save the Korean place name and address in Naver Map.
  • Check whether a filming location is actually open to the public.
  • Confirm current hours for businesses and privately operated attractions.
  • Do not enter fields, stadium areas, roads or company property that is restricted.
  • Check weather before visiting Geumoreum, valleys or paragliding sites.
  • For regional trips, check the last practical train or bus back.
  • Do not confuse temporary event sets with permanent public attractions.

Use current TWICE notices for temporary fan events

TWICE pop-ups, anniversary stores and tour-related events can be excellent additions to a trip, but they belong in a different category from permanent pilgrimage spots because they may operate for only a few days or weeks.

Before traveling, check TWICE’s official JYP notices for any current Seoul pop-up, anniversary event or tour activity. Treat those as a bonus layered onto the permanent locations in this guide rather than as places that will always be there.

If the trip includes a TWICE concert, also read How to Book K-Pop Concerts, Fan Meetings, Pop-Ups and Experiences in Korea and our late-night concert transport guide.

The best TWICE trip should feel like a trip, not a scavenger hunt

TWICE’s Korean locations cover very different versions of the group: the raw debut energy of Yongma Land, Mina under the cherry blossoms in “CHEER UP,” the strange open landscape of “SIGNAL,” the Jeju summer mood of “Alcohol-Free,” and the more mature scale of “ONE SPARK.”

Pick the eras that mean something to you. One strong location with time to enjoy the neighborhood is usually more memorable than six rushed photos taken between subway transfers.
