This complex appears as ‘Liyan Kindergarten’ in Eve/Ibeu (이브) (tvN, 2022); as seen in episode 1 when Lee La-el (Seo Yea-ji) sends her daughter Bo-ram (Kim Si-woo) on the first day of school.

This place appears as ‘Healing Village’ in Devilish Joy (마성의 기쁨) (MBN/Dramax, 2018). Gong Ma-sung (Choi Jin-hyuk) comes here on a work trip with his medical to explain his vision of ‘Healing Village‘ in episode 6. Sung Ki-joon (Hoya of Infinite) comes to interrupt Ma-sung’s work meeting to make him promise not to go to the ‘Classmate TV Show’, before showing him Ma-sung’s old class photo which Lee Ha-im (Lee Joo-yeon) is also in. Ha-im — whose first love is Ma-sung — will go on the show to ‘find’ him. Ma-sung then deducts that Ki-joon was acting out of jealousy. In episode 8, Ma-sung is back here with his team.

This camp is most famous for being one of the backdrops of Shinhwa High School in Boys Over Flowers/Boys Before Flowers (꽃보다 남자) (KBS2, 2009).

This is ChangeUp Campus (CUC) —Yangpyeong Camp [체인지업캠퍼스 양평캠프]. Established in 2006 as Gyeonggi English Village Yangpyeong [경기영어마을 양평캠프], it was the first residential camp to learn English in South Korea, with a second campus in Paju. It was built to resemble a European/Western village to make the English experience as real as possible. It closed down in 2016, after 10 years of operation and now operates under the name ‘ChangeUp Campus (CUC) [체인지업캠퍼스]’ — with the same two campuses, the other being in Paju.

This CUC is located in the Yongmun Township [Yongmun-myeon/용문면], in the Yangpyeong County [Yangpyeong-gun/양평군]; around two hours east of Seoul by public transport.
