Bucheon Fantastic Studio

Bucheon Fantastic Studio, Theme park in Bucheon, South Korea

Bucheon Fantastic Studio was an open film set in the image-culture complex of Bucheon, Gyeonggi Province, built by SBS Arttek and completed in March 2002. Its roughly 200 wooden buildings recreated 1920s–1970s downtown Seoul at 50–80% of real scale, among them the Jongno police station, Bosingak, the Hwasin department store and the Umi theater. A 127 m long, 13 m wide Cheonggyecheon with the Supyo, Jangtong and Gwang bridges crossed the site, and two streetcars ran on 250 m of track. It closed on 4 August 2011.

The open set was built for SBS's 2002 drama Yain Era, about the life of Kim Du-han. Bucheon beat Jecheon for the site, providing land in the Video Culture Complex and the full 40 billion won construction cost. SBS Arttek began work in November 2001 and finished in March 2002. The Bucheon Cultural Foundation ran it from 2004 until closure on 4 August 2011.

Locals called it the "Yain Sidae set" after the SBS drama Yain Sidae (2002), whose success made it a nostalgia destination for older visitors; it drew roughly 100,000 to 200,000 paying visitors a year and hosted events. The set also appeared in films such as Brotherhood, Rikidozan and Zero Focus, and dramas including Seoul 1945 and Road No. 1.

The site is in the video culture complex in Sang-dong, Wonmi-gu, Bucheon, Gyeonggi-do. The set closed on 4 August 2011 and was later replaced by a citizens' farm and campsite, so there is no studio to visit today. The area is under development as of late 2019.

The streetcar rails ran 250 m through the set, and the two Seoul trams on them moved on batteries rather than overhead electric power. The set was built for SBS's drama Yain Sidae, and locals kept calling it the Yain Sidae set after the studio's official name.
