Seo Dae-Young (Jin Goo) thinks of this bar in a flashback in episode 4 of Descendants of the Sun/Descended From the Sun (태양의 후예) (KBS2, 2016). Here came here with Yoon Myeong-Joo (Kim Ji-Won) after he went to his ex-girlfriend’s marriage and Myeong-Joo had pretended to be his new girlfriend.

Everyone meets up here to drink in episode 5 of Discovery of Love/Discovery of Romance (연애의 발견) (KBS2, 2014). Her drunken ex-boyfriend Kang Tae-Ha (Eric) confesses his new-found love to Han Yeo-Reum (Jung Yu-Mi) and she later introduces Nam Ha-Jin (Sung Joon) as her boyfriend to her friends; while Tae-Ha visibly hurts inside.

Bar San-Jang [산장] —which translates to ‘Mountain Cabin’—, opened in 2010, was a ‘folk pub’ located on Wausan-ro [와우산로] in Seoul’s neighborhood Seogang [Seogang-dong/서강동] (formerly Sangsu [Sangsu-dong/상수동]) in the Mapo District [Mapo-gu/마포구] until 2021. After 11 years at this place, it has since moved to a new location on Wausan-ro 18-gil [와우산로18길 10] as of 2021. The original building seen in DOTS and Discovery of Love is still in place but appears to be vacant (as of October 18 2022)
