A historic building turned cafe, famous as a filming location for the iconic Hallyu drama 'Reply 1997'.

The Old Baekje Hospital is Busan's first modern private hospital, a registered cultural heritage site known for its unique Western-style architecture. Its Hallyu fame comes from being a prominent filming location for the drama 'Reply 1997.' This drama was a cultural phenomenon and a major breakthrough for its idol leads, Apink's Jung Eun-ji and singer Seo In-guk. The building's distinctive appearance was used to evoke the 90s setting of the drama. Now operating as a popular cafe and gallery called 'Brown Hands Design Cafe,' it allows fans to step directly into a scene from the beloved series. Visitors can enjoy a coffee while admiring the preserved architecture and reminiscing about one of the most celebrated Hallyu dramas.
