Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok-Joo | E-World, Daegu — The Park That Was Supposed to Be a Date

The amusement-park date is not Lotte World. It is E-World on the shoulder of Duryu Park in Dalseo-gu, Daegu, at 200 Duryugongwon-ro, under 83 Tower. The park opened in 1995 as Woobang Towerland and took the E-World name in 2011. The production sent the group here because the rides and the tower already belonged to a working city, two hours south of Seoul on the KTX. Duryu Station on Daegu Line 2, Exit 15, is a five-minute walk to the gate. The joke in the episode is that the date never stays a pair. Friends arrive. The Ferris-wheel light still comes on. The tower still stands 202 metres over the basin. You buy a ticket if you want the rides. You can photograph the tower from the park path without one. Daegu does not market this as a Hallyu shrine. It runs a local park that a 2016 sports comedy happened to need. That is why the place still works. The lights go on whether or not you remember who was supposed to ride first.
