Exploring Kedehun’s filming spot at Naksan Fortress? Just below the fortress wall lies Hyehwa-dong Catholic Church — a peaceful place offering daily Mass, including English Mass, for Catholic travelers in Seoul.


🎬 From Netflix “Kedehun” to a Catholic Retreat

If you enjoyed the Netflix K-drama “Kedehun (K-pop Demon Hunters)”, you might remember the dramatic scenes filmed around Naksan Fortress Wall.

Right below this fortress, hidden away from the bustling streets of Daehak-ro, stands Hyehwa-dong Catholic Church (혜화동 성당).
It’s not just a parish for locals — it’s also a beautiful stop for Catholic travelers, especially those who want to combine sightseeing with spiritual rest.

“A scene from Netflix’s ‘Kedehun (K-pop Demon Hunters)’ featuring Naksan Fortress Wall as the background setting.”

  3. As you descend, you’ll pass cafés and small shops — follow the signs toward Hyehwa Station.
  4. Within 10 minutes on foot, you’ll see Hyehwa-dong Catholic Church on your left, right before the lively Daehak-ro area.
