Yongin Daejanggeum Park [용인 대장금 파크/용인 대장금파크/용인대장금파크] or MBC Dae Jang Geum Park [MBC 용인 대장금 파크], is an outdoor film set for dramas of South Korean television and radio network Munhwa Broadcasting Corporation (MBC). Built in 2005 as MBC Dramia [MBC드라미아] —a compound word made up of ‘drama’ and ‘utopia’—, it is the largest historical film set in South Korea with reconstructions of historical buildings from Samhan until the Joseon period. The park was renamed to its current name in 2015 for better promotion, taking on the name of one of the most popular dramas filmed here, the 2003 MBC drama Dae Jang Geum. The film set was first opened to public in June 2011,

This park is located in the village of Yongcheon [Yongcheon-ri/용천리] in Yongin’s township Baegam [Baegam-myeon/백암면]. It is not to be confused with same-named MBC Daejanggeum Theme Park [대장금 테마파크] at MBC Yangjoo Culture Valley in the city of Yangju.

Notes by Lr
— The drama The Red Sleeve (2021-22) that its thematic predecessor Yi San/ Lee San, Wind of the Palace (이산) (2007-08) (same setting and characters but minus the painting scenes) also used the palace area for shooting.
— Concerning the drama Bloody Heart (2022), this is the second time KBS has used the MBC Dae Jang-geum Park location for their historical dramas within a span of a year —the first being The King’s Affection (2021)—, and this might have to do with currently airing historical drama The King of Tears, Lee Bang-won/Taejong Yi Bang-won (태종 이방원) (KBS1, 2021-22), which has prioritised using the Mungyeong Saejae Open Film Set since it’s KBS’s primary historical drama location site.
