This week the Black Panther cast came to Seoul shining their Wakanda glory.
Now some might be wondering why they choose Seoul as one of their stops for the world premiere. Well the answer is simple. They recorded parts of the movie in Busan!!
The producer Ryan Coogler spoke on why he choose Busan as one of the places to shoot.
In February of last year Variety.com reported “Marvel’s “Black Panther” will use South Korea’s port city, Busan as the backdrop for a huge chase scene. The city, known for hosting Asia’s biggest film festival, will see its landmarks including the Gwangalli beach, Gwangan Bridge, and the Jagalchi fish market near Nampodong, used in the movie.
“We’re very excited,” said Sun Kim, a co-owner of HQ.
She and other business owners think the film will be good exposure for Busan, and will also offer a good look at modern Korean life.
Black Panther and Korean culture together? How can it get any better?
