A guided tour in the works as well

City officials said that they were also putting together a guided tour for fans of the movie which should be available in March.

Other than the Seoul local government, officials in Goyang (it's a city in the northern outskirts of Seoul in Gyeonggi Province) are also setting up tourist sites based on 'Parasite' shooting locations there.

Goyang officials said that they were planning to restore the main set where a flooding scene was filmed for the movie.

'Parasite' recently made Oscar history when it became the first foreign-language movie to bag the Best Picture award.

The movie also won Oscars for Best Original Screenplay, Best International Feature Film and Best Director.
