As autumn arrives, there are many places I want to follow the autumn breeze to.
Whether it's a quiet walk, reading a book in the library, or starting the romance of fall by watching a movie in the theater, the season offers a plethora of options.
Recently, I felt the change of seasons while visiting Sky Park. During my visit, I took the time to stop by the Bosam Movie Village Memorial Hall, which caught my eye along the way.
Bosam Village is nestled deep in the mountains and is named after the three wars it survived during the Joseon Dynasty: the Imjin War, the Jeongyu War, and the Byeongja Horan.
Due to its remote location, public transportation can be a bit inconvenient, but the 329 bus does operate nearby.

The Bosam Movie Village Memorial Hall, located in Joil-ri, Samdong-myeon, Uljugun, offers a glimpse into the history of films related to this area. There is a parking lot at the entrance, and ample parking is available around the village.
Bosam Village is known for its beautiful rural scenery from the 1970s and 80s, making it a popular filming location. In 2002, it was recognized as one of the 'Hometowns of Movies' by the Korean Film Archive.
Some notable films shot here include The Bride (1986), Fire (1979), Pong (1985), and Byeonggangso (1986).
A monument at the entrance of the memorial hall commemorates the glorious past of the movie village. For those who lived through the 70s and 80s, many familiar titles were filmed here.
Before entering the memorial hall, you will find a monument indicating that this was a filming location for The Bride, directed by Im Kwon-taek in 1986.
Upon entering, the first thing that captures your attention is a large photograph depicting the old village scenery of Bosam, showcasing a completely different era.
On the left wall of the exhibition hall, DVDs of films, including the latest releases and those filmed in Bosam Village, are available for viewing.
After exploring the memorial hall, I took a stroll through the village, hoping to find traces of its cinematic history. Unfortunately, there weren't many remnants of filming locations left.
The only remnant was a communal well that featured in the films.
As I walked through the village, I couldn't help but feel inspired to capture every scene with my camera. The natural beauty of the village provided a healing experience.
After visiting Bosam Movie Village, my next destination was Samdong Lotus Park, a nature-friendly ecological exploration space centered around lotus flowers.
Located behind Samdong Elementary School, this area was completed in late 2021 and spans approximately 1.9 hectares.
At the park, I captured the first signs of autumn in Samdong. Although the vibrant summer lotus flowers are fading, the peaceful landscape of remaining lotus leaves and rice paddies is worth exploring.
As the seasons change, each brings its own colors and memories.
Even without grand spectacles, take a moment for yourself and enjoy the beauty around you.
