One Movie Led Us to THIS Korean Town 🇰🇷 | Yeongwol

Have you ever watched a movie and wanted to step into its story? The King’s Warden brought us to Yeongwol, South Korea. 🇰🇷 Join us, EJ Couple, as we explore the real places connected to King Danjong—the young king whose story stayed with us long after the movie ended. Our first stop is Cheongnyeongpo, where he lived in exile. In the film, the river crossing looked long and difficult. Our boat ride? About a minute. But knowing his story made that short journey feel very different. Then we discover a lighter side of Yeongwol: comforting local food, a relaxing tea break, market snacks, and a flower festival we hadn’t planned to visit. And yes—we found a restroom built in 1882 that’s still in use! 😄 Whether you’ve seen the movie or just want to explore Korea beyond Seoul, come spend the day with us. ✨ IN THIS VIDEO • Cheongnyeongpo and the story of King Danjong • Freshwater snail soup at Donggang Daseulgi • Traditional tea and red bean shaved ice • Bodeoksa Temple’s historic restroom • A seasonal flower festival and market snacks • A river landscape shaped like the Korean Peninsula 🎬 CHAPTERS 00:00 The movie that brought us to Yeongwol 00:26 Cheongnyeongpo: King Danjong’s exile site 01:05 Danjong’s reconstructed home 01:35 Gwaneumsong Pine 01:52 Manghyangtap stone tower 02:24 Why was Danjong exiled? 02:36 Local lunch: freshwater snail soup 03:12 A 144-year-old restroom—still in use! 03:38 An unexpected flower festival 03:49 Market snacks and takeaway treats 04:03 Walking to the Korean Peninsula Viewpoint 04:43 More to explore & goodbye 📍 RESTAURANT & CAFÉ LOCATIONS Scan the QR codes in the video to open the featured restaurant and café locations in Google Maps. 💬 Planning a trip or curious about something in the video?
