Miwon Building [미원빌딩]
Chu Dong-woo (Choi Dae-chul) has lunch at the rooftop of this building in episode 8 of Undercover (Eondeokeobeo/언더커버) (JTBC, 2021) and thinks back to a conversation he had here with Choi Yeon-soo (Kim Hyun-joo) about their goals in their work.
This is seen as the rooftop of Joonsoo Food’s office building, which Ka Yeol-chan (Park Hae-jin) frequents when he needs to clear his mind in Kkondae Intern/Old School Intern (꼰대인턴) (MBC, 2020). It is also where he has conversations with senior intern Lee Man-sik (Kim Eung-soo), as in episode 3 (full episode 2) and 12 (full episode 6).
The rooftop of this building appears as the public relations company ‘Brain’ in Introverted Boss/My Shy Boss/Sensitive Boss (내성적인 보스) (tvN, 2017). CEO Eun Hwan-ki (Yeon Woo-jin) comes here to apologize to a former employee that committed suicide from here in episode 2. Her sister, Chae Ro-woon (Park Hye-soo), who also works at Brain, comes here to mourn at the same time. He’s shocked by her presence — having a crush on her — and nearly falls off the roof.
Also seen in episode 3 of The Sound of Your Heart/Sound of Heart (마음의 소리) (KBS2/Netflix, 2016-17); Dr. Jin (닥터진) (MBC, 2012 — Source).
Miwon Building [미원빌딩], completed in 1984, is a 20 floors high building that houses diverse companies in the finance sector and organizations (like South Korea’s Rotary Club) as well as restaurants, located in Seoul’s neighborhood Yeouido [Yeouido-dong/여의도동] in the Yeongdeungpo District [Yeondeungpo-gu/영등포구].
Its rooftop/helipad —as seen in Kkondae Intern— overlooks the Han River/Hangang, 63 Square [63스퀘어], Mapo Bridge [마포대교] and Wonhyo Bridge [원효대교]. It is around 16 mins walk or 4 mins car ride to/from Yeouido Kumho Ricencia Tower [여의도 금호 리첸시아].
