Dae Jang Geum Theme Park, Drama theme park in Yangju, South Korea.
Dae Jang Geum Theme Park is a film set in Yangju containing 23 buildings designed in traditional Korean style and used as the location for a popular television series. The facility displays meticulously reconstructed structures such as palaces, kitchens, and living quarters from the Joseon Dynasty.
The park opened in December 2004 and was South Korea's first theme park dedicated to television drama productions. It was specifically designed and built as a filming location for one of the country's most-watched television series.
The park features reconstructed royal palaces and residential quarters from the Joseon period that bring traditional Korean architecture to life. These buildings were rebuilt according to historical records and allow visitors to experience the atmosphere of court life.
The park has been closed to the public since 2014 and primarily functions as a working film studio for new productions. Visitors should check in advance whether tours or special viewings are available, as access is restricted.
The park houses original set pieces and props from the television series, including authentic kitchen equipment and court clothing from the filming period. These artifacts offer a rare look at the craftsmanship and visual details that went into production.
