- Fan spot
The Netflix period drama 'Gyeongseong Creature' is set in Gyeongseong in the spring of 1945. The exterior of the drama's Ongseong Hospital was modeled on the main hall of Kyungpook National University College of Medicine in Daegu, while the school scenes were filmed at Keisung Middle School. Both are red-brick modern-era buildings, and after Season 1's release the show entered Netflix's global Top 10, drawing attention to the sites.

Keisung Middle School

The red-brick modern-era building used for the school scenes in Netflix's 'Gyeongseong Creature'. A drama set in the spring of 1945 needed real period architecture rather than a set, and this one sits inside Daegu's modern-history alley route, connecting naturally to Cheongna Hill. It is a working school, so plan on viewing it from outside.

Fans identify this red-brick building as the model for the Ongseong Hospital exterior in 'Gyeongseong Creature', pointing to how the head-on view from the main gate lines up with the hospital shots in the show. It is an active medical and teaching building, so this is a look-from-outside visit.
