About this page

Even the Lotto Winner Goes to Work (로또 1등도 출근합니다; the English title is our translation) is a TVING original office drama that also aired on tvN on Mondays and Tuesdays. TVING released the first two episodes early on Sep 10, 2026, and tvN began airing it on Sep 14, 2026 (Sports Kyunghyang; Segye Ilbo). It is based on a web novel of the same name. A team leader who has spent years being squeezed from above and below wins the lottery, and instead of quitting, he keeps going to work.

The show ended with 10 episodes: TVING released the final two on Oct 8, 2026, and tvN aired the finale on Oct 13, 2026 (bntnews; TopStarNews). Every place above is fan-spotted: Korean fan researchers matched it to scenes, but no official or press source has named it yet. We say only that each place appears in the drama.

For shops, cafés and restaurants we don’t list hours or prices; check their official pages.

Office-worker Seoul

Much of the drama follows a salaried office worker, so most places are the kind he would pass on a workday: lunch spots, a café and after-work bars in downtown Seoul and nearby business districts. Where a Seoul card names a subway station, it comes from the fan list and is not verified against an official page; check the route on Naver Map (English UI).

Street scenes were also reportedly filmed around Euljiro 1-ga Station, Jongno 5-gil, Namdaemun-ro 9-gil and Irwon Station, and on Dongho Bridge (Edaily). Fan researchers also point to streets in Yeongdeungpo, the area outside Doota Mall in Dongdaemun, Seocho, the Seogang and Jamsu bridges, Haengsin-dong in Goyang, and Yeoncheon, plus Seoul Station, Songdo-gwahak-ro in Incheon, and Busan Station with a bus stop in Choryang-dong. We don’t give exact spots for streets, crossings or bridges.

Day trips

  • Incheon, Paju, Uijeongbu, Bucheon and Seongnam: these are in the Seoul metropolitan area. Search each route on Naver Map (English UI). For the airport, see Incheon Airport’s official Public Transportation page.
  • Damyang (Gwanbangjerim and Damvit Art Warehouse): the two places are next to each other. Check Korail for trains toward Gwangju, then search the last leg on Naver Map. We have not verified this route against an official page.
  • Gwangju (Sejung Outlet): check Korail’s timetable page for trains to Gwangju-Songjeong, then search the last leg on Naver Map.
  • Busan (Yongho Byeolbit Park): Check Korail’s timetable page for trains and journey times to Busan, then use Naver Map for the local route.

Use Naver Map for the last leg; a taxi is the simple fallback.
