Japan leads the overseas map of Korean screen productions — three titles in this scan, with Jordan and Thailand close behind

A live-web scan surfaced 11 foreign countries and territories named as filming locations for South Korean movies and TV shows — 15 distinct productions in total. Ranking is by distinct productions per country; source mentions are shown as a secondary measure.

Read this as an evidence-backed web-scan ranking, not an all-time industry leaderboard. The scan merged two broad searches, extracted hundreds of candidate production–location pairs, and kept only rows with both a foreign country and a production title. Missing or ambiguous location fields mean famous sites may be absent, and some titles carry likely source or extraction variants — for example "Memories of Alahmbra".

Japan is the only country with three titles — a horror film, a romance and a drama series: Deliver Us from Evil, Cyborg She and Made in Korea, the last shot in Kobe. kobiz.or.kr

Thailand's two productions come with the most specific location detail of any country in the scan — Kanchanaburi's 3D Tunnel, the Royal Thai Marine Naval Base Corps, Sangchuto Road and Satthahip Beach for Made in Korea. travelandleisureasia.com

Canada is the only single-production country whose one title, The Goblin, drew two source mentions — more mentions than productions. doi.org

Two productions crossed continents within this sample: Deliver Us from Evil appears in both Japan and Thailand, and Made in Korea in both Thailand and Japan. kobiz.or.kr

Method: live-web scan merging two broad searches for South Korean movies and TV shows filmed abroad; hundreds of candidate production–location pairs were extracted and rows retained only when both a foreign country and a production title were present. 11 countries, 15 distinct productions, 15 total source mentions. "Productions" counts distinct titles per country in this sample; "mentions" counts source citations. Title spellings preserved as extracted (e.g. "Memories of Alahmbra", "Mege Fin"). Ambiguous or missing location fields were dropped, so well-known sites may be absent.
