As an assemblyman, Lee Kyu-jin (Bong Tae-gyu) continues his days-long a hunger strike outside this building in episode 1 of Penthouse 2/The Penthouse: War in Life Season 2 (펜트하우스 2) (SBS, 2021), to protest against other assemblyman with multiple properties.

This building is seen in the background as Yoon Dong-joo (Jo Hye-joo) rejoices at reaching the top of the search engine rankings in final episode 16 of Search: WWW/Type in Search Word: WWW (검색어를 입력하세요: WWW) (tvN, 2019), and is approached by Pyo Joon-soo (Kim Nam-hee) in an attempt to rekindle their relationship.

There is an explosion at this building in episode 1 of Designated Survivor: 60 Days (60일, 지정생존자) (tvN, 2019); which eventually leads to Park Moo-jin (Ji Jin-hee) —who works here— to become president. But before that he rushes here to see if his daughter is alive because she had a field trip to this place the same day the explosion took place.

This building is at the center of Chief Of Staff/Aide (보좌관) (JTBC, 2019) as the workplace of, among others, Jang Tae-joon (Lee Jung-jae) and Han Do-kyung (Kim Dong-joon) — as seen, for instance in episode 1.

This building can be seen in the background of where Park Joon-yong (Kim Ki-doo) finds out the truth about Min Ye-rin (Go Won-hee) in episode 7 of Perfume/Peopyoom (퍼퓸) (KBS2, 2019).

The office rented by Chairwoman Park Hoo-ja (Kim Min-jeong) for Yang Jung-guk (Choi Si-won) to run his sham campaign in My Fellow Citizens!/Fellow Citizens (국민 여러분!) (KBS2, 2019), overlooks this building “as inspiration”, Hoo-ja says, for Jung-guk to reach his (forced) goal of becoming an assemblyman. In episode 25, he finally makes it to the actual building — as a true blue assemblyman.

When Koo Dae-young (Kim Sung-kyun) briefly presents the network of people involved in father Lee’s (Jeong Dong-hwan) death and their background in episode 14 of The Fiery Priest/Hot Blooded Priest (열혈사제) (SBS, 2019), Congressman Park Won-moo (Han Ki-joong) is seen striking in front of this building.

The National Assembly Building [국회의사당] — or in full, the National Assembly Proceeding Hall— , built in 1975, is South Korea’s capitol/parliament building where the National Assembly — the South Korean legislative — is located. It is situated in Seoul’s neighborhood Yeouido [Yeouido-dong/여의도동], in the Yeongdeunpo District [Yeongdeungpo-gu/영등포구].

In 2013, it was designated Seoul’s Future Heritage (서울미래유산) given out since 2012 by the city’s government.

The bronze statue/fountain in the middle of the square seen in My Fellow Citizens!, was erected in 1978 and has a sign that reads ‘평화와 번영의 상’, or ‘the statue for peace and development’.
