Jonggak Station
This high-traffic hub in the Jongno district is where the search finally reaches its climax in Season 2 [47]. After tracking various leads and scouring multiple stations, Gi-hun’s hired crew finally confronts the Salesman here [47]. The scene is one of frantic energy as the predator is finally cornered in a public space [46, 47]. Today, you can walk through the station near the Tous Les Jours Jongno branch—the same bakery where the Salesman made his bread purchase earlier in the story [46, 48, 49].
