Mount Jiri will be the first television series to be filmed at Jirisan National Park.
Production was halted on December 8-20 due to the rise of COVID-19 cases in South Korea. Filming was subsequently completed in June 2021, after about ten months.
Jirisan was filmed with a budget of 32 billion won (~US$27.4 million). In 2020, iQIYI attained its overseas distribution rights for over 25 billion won, around 80% of the production costs.
