The Houses Do Not Exist in 'Parasite'

Spoilers

How to arrange the space becomes the way to organize the plot. A new scene will appear at every turn, and each scene hides a new secret. —— Bong Joon-ho

I couldn't help but write about the scene in the film Parasite.

In the film, except for some scenes taken from street scenes, several main houses are artificially built with CG. We can see the blue wall in the pictures.

The first picture: The block where the protagonist's family lives;

The second picture: The first floor of the villa where President Park's family lives

The location of the real scenes

1-The three escaped from President Park’s house and walked home on foot in the heavy rain. The filming location was the Zi Xiamen tunnel in Seoul.

2- Driver Restaurant for the whole family in the film.

It is the driver’s restaurant in Mangwon-dong.

3-The street view on the way home

4-President Park’s villa

It is the main place where the plot takes place, which is also built with CG.

Since it is man-made, there is naturally a reference prototype.

What is more interesting is that the main creative team referred to the home of the president of a large company. We can boldly guess that it is the mansion of the chairman of the "Samsung Group" Lee Kun-hee located in Itaewon.

We can look at the facade of his house through Google Street View.


Temporarily, I found the information above. Because I don’t know Korean, it’s hard to find more information. If you know more, please attach them in the comments.
