Na Young-won (Jung So-min) and Yoo Ja-sung (Kim Ji-seok) visit this temple during a work walk survey in episode 9 of Monthly Magazine Home/Monthly House (월간 집) (JTBC, 2021) and they both decide that they do work together well (being happy dating in the same time). Ja-sung explains that there is a saying that is connected to this temple, which is “United minds make flowers bloom even in ruins”. She the goes on saying that “this place fell into ruins because of a huge forest fire, but seeing how it is so firmly restored, I think that description fits perfectly.”

This temple was seen in episode 1 of Birth of a Beauty (미녀의 탄생) (SBS, 2014-15).
