Apgujeong Graffiti Tunnel [압구정나들목]

Moon Ji-woong (Choi Hyun-wook) hangs out here with a break dancer crowd (because hip hop is the future) in episode 10 of Twenty-Five Twenty-One/25 21 (스물다섯 스물하나) (tvN, 2022).When he gets a beeper message from Go Yoo-rim (Kim Ji-yeon/Bona from Girls’ Generation), he directly rushes over.
Secretary Koo (Han Soo-jin) has a rendezvous at this tunnel to trade information in full episode 3 of Good Casting (굿캐스팅) (SBS, 2020) and when the informant does not want to hand over the information she has to resort to her martial arts skills.
Bang Young-baek (Lee Ho-won / Hoya of INFINITE) and Song Ha-jin (Lee Na-eun) end their afternoon together at this tunnel when she notices how late it has become and that she has an appointment in Track 2 of Hip Hop King – Nassna Street (힙합왕-나스나길) (SBS, 2019). In Track 4, both of them are back here together with Seo Ki-ha (Han Hyun-min) to film a DIY rap MV in Track 4.
The hit-and-run (murder) case of episode 9 in Suits (슈츠) (KBS2, 2018) happened just before this tunnel and Go Yeon-woo (Park Hyung-sik) comes here to look at the scene alone and understands that the victim had painted a piece in the tunnel before he was hit by his client’s car.
In The Liar and His Lover/Lovely Love Lie/She Loves Lie So Much (그녀는 거짓말을 너무 사랑해) (tvN, 2017), the graffiti tunnel was featured as one of the backdrops when Yoon Soo-rim (Joy from Red Velvet) was singing Yeowooya while looking for Kang Han-gyeol (Lee Hyun-woo). It was seen again in episode 3 when Soo-rim was asking Han-gyeol about his favorite things.
This tunnel also appears in a flashback scene in episode 2 of Another Miss Oh/Another Oh Hae Young/Oh Hae-young Again (또! 오해영) (tvN, 2016) when Park Do-kyung (Eric) frantically looks for Oh Hae-young (Jeon Hye-bin) and finally sees a photo of her in Paris on her social media account with another man.
Jung Cha-Sik (Ji-soo) together with his friends stop at an upright piano that’s been set up in this tunnel in episode 1 of Page Turner (페이지 터너) (KBS2, 2016). He takes Yoon Yoo-seul (Kim So-hyun) here and asks her to play the piano for him in episode 2. In episode 3, they practiced together for a two-piano concours.
