Rooftop Apartment Itaewon-dong
The rooftop of this building is first seen in VIP/V.I.P. (λΈμ΄μμ΄νΌ/Beuiaipi) (SBS, 2019) as On Yu-ri’s (Pyo Ye-jin) rooftop house, which was eventually taken over by Lee Hyun-ah (Lee Chung-ah). In episode 24 (full episode 12), Na Jung-sun (Jang Na-ra), Song Mi-na (Kwak Sun-young) and Kang Ji-young (Lee Jin-hee) have a barbeque party there in celebration of a few occasions.
This rooftop apartment appears in Ryan Gold’s (Kim Jae-wook) flashbacks as his childhood home, where he used to live with his artist mother Kong Eun-young (Lee Il-hwa) β as seen in episodes 13 and 14 of of Her Private Life (κ·Έλ μ μ¬μν) (tvN, 2019).
Yeon Woo-Young (Kwak Dong-Yeon) moves into this rooftop apartment in episode 6 of My ID is Gangnam Beauty / ID: Gangnam Beauty (λ΄ μμ΄λλ κ°λ¨λ―ΈμΈ)Β (JTBC, 2018). His student Do Kyung-Seok (Cha Eun-Woo of Astro) becomes his roommate in episode 8.
This private rooftop apartment β above ‘Byeongyeong Super’ [λ³μμνΌ] and a real estate company β is located in Seoul’s neighborhood Itaewon [Itaewon-dong/μ΄νμλ] in the Yongsan District [Yongsan-gu/μ©μ°κ΅¬], just opposite the Gayarang Building.
The building is located on Gyeongnidan-gil [경리λ¨κΈΈ/ηΆηεκΈΈ], the informal name of 1km-long Hoenamu-ro [νλ무λ‘/νλ무路], which nowadays not only refers to this central street traversing Itaewon but also to the area of the adjoining streets south of Hoenamu-ro, which became a hangout hotspot thanks to its diverse and lively bars, pubs, cafΓ©s and restaurants. The name Gyeongnidan-gil literally means the street at which the entrance to the former Republic of Korea (ROK) Army Financial Management Corps (Yuk-gun-jung-ang-gyeong-ni-dan) was located since 1957; which became the Armed Forces Financial Management Corps in 2012.

About the apartment
Where this located in korea pls? Thankyou
Hi Eunice, I am not sure to understand your question? All information is given above.
Another drama?
I think this rooftop house is also featured in Her Private Life, as Ryan’s (Kim Jae Wook) mother’s painting studio, as seen in flashbacks.
hi Sarah! thanks for the heads up π it is indeed, and we’ve added it to the listing!
this is a private place tbvh. there’s a cctv near the staircase…
i had to applaud dks when he brought the tv as a housewarming gift. the staircase is a bit small so its really hard to bring that upstairs. π
Hi, wanna know is this place open to public?
Hi Tophan, I don’t think so. It rather looks like a private place. But you can still the stairs from the outside that were also seen in the show.
