[SEOUL’S LEGACY] Squid Game Season 1-3: The Final Journey & The Secret of Dalgona 🎭🍭


Squid Game Final Season Filming Location Ssangmundong Seoul - Dalgona Candy Challenge Korea Travel 2026



 [SunnyShare’s Warm Greeting] Hello from SunnyShare! ☀️ With the epic conclusion of the Squid Game series in Season 3, fans from all over the world are flocking back to where it all began. Today, we’re visiting the humble streets of Ssangmundong and uncovering the sweet (and bitter) history of Korea’s most famous street snack.

1. Where the Game Began: Ssangmundong Back Alleys 🏘️

The heart of the series isn't a high-tech arena, but the nostalgic alleys of Ssangmundong, Seoul. This is where Gi-hun’s journey started in Season 1 and where the final echoes of Season 3 resonate.

  • Baegun Market (Ssangmundong): Visit the actual fish stall owned by Sang-woo’s mother. The area still retains the authentic, gritty charm of 1980s-90s Seoul.

2. The Cultural Icon: The Etymology of 'Dalgona' 🍭

In Season 3, we saw even more creative use of this sugar candy. But where did the name come from?

  • The Origin: The word 'Dalgona' comes from the Korean word 'Dalguna' (λ‹¬κ΅¬λ‚˜), which literally means "Oh, it's sweet!"

  • The History: Originally a cheap street snack for children after the Korean War, it was made by melting glucose blocks. Today, it represents the "bittersweet" survival theme that defines the entire Squid Game saga.

3. 2026 Travel Insight: A New Era of Korean Tourism πŸ›‚πŸ“ˆ

As we hit the mid-2026 season, the "Squid Game Effect" is stronger than ever.

  • Tourism Surge: Recent 2026 stats show a 22% increase in "K-Drama Pilgrimage" tours compared to last year.

  • Visa-Free Ease: To support this, the Korean government is fast-tracking Visa-Free entry for group tours and expanding the K-ETA exemption list. 2026 is truly the year to experience Korea without the red tape!
