IU Music Video Locations: Busan Munhwagonggamsujeong and Burano Island, Italy

IU's music video filming locations are attracting significant attention from fans and general travelers alike. Munhwagonggamsujeong in Busan, the backdrop for the 'Through the Night' music video, and Burano Island in Italy, featured in 'The End of the Day' music video, each captivate visitors with their unique charms.

Munhwagonggamsujeong, located in Busan's Dong-gu, is a Japanese-style wooden house known as a filming location for IU's 'Through the Night' and AKMU's '200%'. It operates from Tuesday to Saturday, 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with an admission fee of 1,000 KRW (3,000 KRW including a drink). Tripods and professional photography are restricted inside. The first floor houses a library and media room, while the second floor features exhibition halls and the main hall. Burano Island, near Venice, Italy, is famous for its colorful buildings that create a fairytale-like scenery, serving as the pastel-colored backdrop for 'The End of the Day' music video. Burano Island is only accessible by water bus (Vaporetto), with the Line 14 Vaporetto from St. Mark's Square taking approximately one hour. Purchasing a 1-day Vaporetto pass is more economical, and private motorboat options offer the added benefit of touring the canal.

Bloggers praised Munhwagonggamsujeong's harmonious blend of Hanok architecture, wood, white, and green aesthetics, appreciating the quiet and relaxed atmosphere for photography. Regarding Burano Island, they expressed awe at seeing the pastel-colored walls, canals, and charming alleys from the music video come to life, noting satisfaction with the beautiful scenery despite the island's small size. Both locations are highly recommended as special travel destinations to experience IU's artistic sensibility.
