The 2023 Celine Song film “Past Lives” was shot in Korea and New York City. Early in the film, Nora and Hae Sung are seen playing together as children at MMCA Outdoor Sculpture Park, located just outside of Seoul, Korea, near Seoul Land amusement park. Their mothers are seen sitting at this bench as the children play. The sculpture next to the bench is known as Visual Point-Opener by Kwon Dal-Sool from 1984.

LOCATION: MMCA Outdoor Sculpture Park, 313 Gwangmyeong-ro, Gwacheon-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea (GPS coordinates: 37°25’49.5″N, 127°01’08.8″E)

The sculpture the children play in front of is known as Singing Man by Jonathan Borofsky from 1994. The jaw only moves at select times of the day and was shut down for the season during our visit, but you can still see it behind the scaffolding in the image below. This area is not difficult to find, if you approach MMCA Outdoor Sculpture Park from the main entrance, you’ll see it immediately to your right. We’ve also provided GPS coordinates.

The kids are next seen playing on the New Gazing at Being sculpture by Lee Il-Ho from 1994. This one is slightly more tricky to find. If you follow the path above and behind the bench where the mothers sit, past the main pedestrian entrance and towards the eastern parking lot, you’ll find it. We’ve also included GPS coordinates.

The stairs where young Nora and Hae Sung go their separate ways is a bit of a walk from any nearby train or bus stations. Depending which direction you approach, you may need to walk down several narrow roads to reach it, with the stairs located on a hill. We’ve provided GPS coordinates below.

Nora and Hae Sung are seen walking on another set of stairs on their way home from school. These stairs are not located near the above location. It is located up a long stretch of hills. If you plan to visit, we’d recommend a taxi to reach this spot, unless you’re looking for a bit of a hike.

LOCATION: Near 24-52 Bon-dong, Dongjak District, Seoul, South Korea (GPS coordinates: 37°30’36.9″N, 126°57’21.3″E)

The kids continue walking this direction.

After Nora moves to New York City, she eventually reconnects with Hae Sung, who comes to visit her after many years. The two visit the Statue of Liberty, which has of course been seen in countless films, such as “Splash,” “The Godfather Part II,” “Superman,” “Escape from New York,” “Home Alone 2: Lost In New York,” “Ghostbusters II,” “X-Men,” “Comrades: Almost a Love Story,” “Baby It’s You,” “The Abyss,” “Lords Of Dogtown” and more.

LOCATION: Statue of Liberty, New York, NY 10004

Nora’s apartment can be found at 50 E 1st St, New York, NY 10003, while the garage they stand in front of at the end of the film is located just a few buildings down at 40 E 1st St, New York, NY 10003.
