About this page

These are the XO, Kitty places outside Seoul. The central Seoul route is in the XO, Kitty Seoul guide, and every place is on the XO, Kitty filming locations page. Each place below has one source so far, so all are labeled reported.

Season 1: Suwon, Cheonan and Sejong

Season 1 borrowed national landmarks for school scenes: the National Library of Korea in Sejong stands in for the KISS library, and the Independence Hall of Korea in Cheonan hosts the end-of-term talent show, according to Netflix Tudum. Tudum also names Seojangdae, the command post on Suwon’s Hwaseong Fortress. Suwon has other filming spots on this site: see the Lovely Runner Suwon walk.

Season 3: Busan

Yonhap lists Haeundae Market and Gamcheon Culture Village among Season 3’s Busan places. Gamcheon is a residential hillside village, so visit quietly.

Getting there

These are separate trips. Check trains on Korail and plan the last leg with Kakao Map or Naver Map.
