🎬 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.”
