A Special Train Journey to the Filming Location of 'Hope'
A special train journey to Namchang Village in Haenam, the filming location of the movie 'Hope'
After watching a movie, you might find yourself wondering, "Where is that place?"
The filming location for the recently popular movie ‘Hope’ is one such destination.
Namchang Village in Bukpyeong-myeon, Haenam, Jeollanam-do, is gaining attention as a unique place where you can experience the movie's setting in real life.
Recently, E-Daily introduced Namchang Village, the filming site of ‘Hope’, along with Korail Tourism Development's cinema train journey.
Let’s explore together!
🌌 A Journey Following Alien Footprints
As soon as you step off the bus, the first thing that catches your eye is a giant footprint.
At first glance, you might think it’s a dinosaur footprint, but it’s actually a trace of the massive alien creature 'Bamigir' from the movie.
Following the footprints along the path, you will naturally immerse yourself in the movie's world.
🏡 Not a Set, But a 'Real Village'
What makes 'Hope Movie Street' special is that it utilized an actual village where residents live as the filming location.
Filming took place for about three months in 2023, and instead of building new sets, the crew dressed existing buildings to recreate the atmosphere of a 1970s village.
As a result, while walking through the alleys, you can encounter many places that evoke scenes from the movie.
🎬 Iconic Movie Scenes Before Your Eyes
The most popular photo spot is undoubtedly the police car.
They have restored a model similar to the one featured in the chase scenes, and many travelers take commemorative photos with it.
As you stroll along the alley, you will also find retro scenes like Geumbok Butcher Restaurant and an old health store with vintage signage.
It’s enjoyable to discover how this quiet rural village has transformed into a movie set.
🚓 Continuing the Movie's Legacy at 'Hoppo Police Station'
On one side of the street, there’s Hoppo Police Station, which perfectly recreates the atmosphere of the film.
You can see props used in the actual filming, handprints of the actors, and various exhibits including maps from the movie, making it a special space for film fans.
You can explore behind-the-scenes stories while keeping the film's essence alive.
