The popularity of an East Asian hackberry tree in Changwon, South Gyeongsang Province, that shot to nationwide fame following its appearance in megahit legal drama “Extraordinary Attorney Woo” (2022) seems to have cooled off as of late.
The small, quiet village of Bukbu-ri was overflowing with travelers and TV drama fans from across the country who had come to see the 500-year-old protected tree, also known as “Sodeok-dong paengnamu,” in the TV series.
The sensational tourist attraction that once needed local police to handle the seemingly unending line of cars and visitors is now a serene resting spot again enjoyed by locals.
With drama-themed murals and the iconic hackberry standing firm at the village, visitors who wish to avoid a crowd-packed tourist destination can enjoy the cool wind blowing from Nakdong River and the tranquil atmosphere at the hackberry in Changwon.
