Daegutang — cod soup selected
Nearby
War Memorial of Korea
Closes at 17:40, not 18:00, and stops admitting visitors at 17:00 — a 40-minute gap that catches people who arrive after an afternoon elsewhere. Closed Mondays, and when a holiday falls on a Monday the closure moves to the day after, which is the rule most itineraries miss.
National Museum of Korea
Two closure rules, not one, and they are not the same thing: the museum itself shuts on only three days a year, while the permanent galleries take a quarterly Monday off with the garden still open. Wednesday and Saturday run to 21:00 — the only evenings you can see this place without daylight pressure.
Itaewon Children's Park
A neighbourhood children's park at the foot of Gyeongnidan-gil in Itaewon 2-dong — slides, a seesaw, swings and benches. It is the only park among the six 《Itaewon Class》 locations the Korea Tourism Organization names.
G Guesthouse
A guesthouse on Bogwang-ro 60-gil, its facade covered in graffiti of city names from around the world, with a rooftop looking over N Seoul Tower and Itaewon. In the drama it appears as a gosiwon.

A bowl costs between 11,000 and 20,000 won, four of them shut for part of the afternoon, and two publish no hours at all.
