- Gyeongbokgung, or Gyeongbok Palace, is an iconic landmark in central Seoul. The compound looks stunning in all seasons, by day or lit up at night. But it also has a rich and often turbulent past since being built in 1395. It was the main Joseon dynasty palace until a fire destroyed it in the late 1500s. In the 1800s, it was restored - before being destroyed again by Imperial Japan during the first half of the 20th century. Now, we can celebrate the 30th anniversary of excavation and restoration work at Gyeongbokgung

South Korea's rich history should be upheld and remembered to the modern day 🇰🇷~🇪🇬
It's worthless compared to forbidden palace.
Far smaller, less designed and has very dirty and dusty floor
@@alienelephant4721 No palace is "worthless."
It’s honestly not a big deal
@@alienelephant4721your worthless
@@alienelephant4721the “dirty floor” is nature earth the land on which the palace was laid upon
I knew I'd made the right choice to see as much of this palace FIRST as I could on my first trip to SK back in 2019 (walked from one end to the other -- i.e. from Gwanghwamun on a roundabout path out to the "back gate" that looks out north toward the Blue House) - and what a walk it was! I could very easily have taken TWO days to see it all, but took about 5 hours wandering around, and was very happy I saw as much as I did.
Next time I'm in Seoul I'll tackle the other four remaining palaces - but I definitely want to see what renovations have been made to Gyeongbok as well!
Japan was originally called "Wae(small n snide)" before Baekje collapsed, and "Wae" was called "Yamato" in ancient Japanese. "Wae" is extended to "Wa (Chinese characters)". "Wae = Wa = Yamato" both have the same meaning. Japanese clothes were called wae clothes, and food was called wae foods. and now they are called Wa clothes, Wa foods. When viewed from Shandong, China, the place where the sun was born in the east was called Japan, so there is a book that called Baekje is Japan. It was only then that the eastern sun of the Korean Peninsula was born in the "Wae" country that passed after the fall of Baekje, so the national title of Japan = Nihonguk began to be used. This was in the late 7th century, after the fall of Baekje, that is, it is simple to explain that Baekje was what made Japan an ancient country. Susano, the founding myth in the Japanese Clerk, is set in Sosono, the mother of Onjo, the founding king of Baekje. And the Japanese royal family (his blood is a descendant of Baekje) created by prince SHOHOKU. Who crossed the tradition of Baekje's fallout culture, has continued for more than 1,500 years and has become a culture that dominates Japan even in the 21st century. Baekje delivered it, but why one-party dictatorship is possible that we do not understand, and because they are lower-class people, they live in compliance. If you study this idea "Wa", you can easily understand Japan and know why it does not change.
The Japanese can be very proud of their heritage, because they hide all the atrocities they have committed.
The rest of the world knows better.
This palace is ultimately one of the most beautiful places I have seen online and there should be great pride for the Koreans when they look up on the reconstruction.
Well done South Korea.
They destroyed your palaces and then tried to destroy your heritage, but they could never take it away from your mind and your heart and your souls
Beautiful and determined people are never suppressed. 👏🏼
Hope to visit again someday
Beautiful
I will definitely visit South Korea!!
Awesome sauce! I can't wait to see it when I visit.
Japan should really be ashamed of their military ancestors for destroying a lot of Korean heritage and monarchy. Has the govt ever said sorry for its atrocities? Now that many of us are getting interested in Korean history (although without a good background yet), We now look at Japan a little differently and somehow its shine and esteem we held for its culture is now a little diminished in some of our eyes.
🇯🇵🤡
yes, hate Japan
No none of that matter at this point now japan needs to apologize and give back buildings they teared down from gyrongbokgung they still exist in japan.
💜💜💜💜beautiful 💜 💜💜💜
I’m a bit shocked it won’t be completely restored until 2045 😮
During the reign of Heungseon Daewongun it only took 3 years to completely rebuild it and they didn’t have modern technology nor manpower but they still did it modern day Korea doesnt see importance in old architecture so there being lazy and not doing anything if they wanted to they could’ve restored in a year but noooo they have to worry about what other stupid people are saying
Japan has never once apologized to Korea for destroying that much.
funny how in asia, foreigners are encouraged to wear traditional outfits thats actual culture... but the minute someone has cornrows .. MUH CULTURAL APPROPRIATION!! REEEE
I agree and what is the deal with that?
@@TrinhNguyen-sh4fj western wokeness.. i mean we don't care when others wear Ao Dai's ..
Cultural appropriation is a concept born lately in the US and doesn't really have to do with the rest of the non-western world. Japan and Korea, even China under certain circumstances, like it when people from other cultures embrace their language and culture. They consider it as a sign of respect, if done in good faith, with good taste and care. Because they consider imitation as the highest form of flattery.
In the US it's the complete opposite, regarding certain cultures. It's taboo. And the international K-Pop fandom imposes some of these beliefs on K-Pop companies, as customers. Like forcing artists to apologize for having their hair done in cornrows. So this isn't really a Korean thing. It's a US thing imposed on Korea, via globalization.
Ikr
@@roseblue_ asia has a lot of unacceptable things but they don't force it on other countries, western kpop fans literally disrespect every law in korea and try to change everything inside korea and kpop. But when America consider something taboo, everyone has to follow it and there's no Asian trying to change their shit like they do to us.
Huengyemuns pillars must be rebuilt back too the way it was
Dont understand if korea only have one period, i.e. Josean era??
Why only Josean Era is mentioned in kdarama and movies? There wasnt any other period in the last 5000 years (or even older) in Korea history?
Yes, only Joe era before that they didn't exist.
Then you need to watch more kdrama cause there are more movies about korea under Japanese rule. E.g. Mr Sunshine, Chicago Typewriter and so on.

팩트. 조선시대사료로 '조선왕조실록'이라는 방대하고 구체적인 기록물을 보유하고 있어서 다른 어느시대보다 사극을 제작하기 수월하다.
팩트2. 실제로 조선 그 이전 시기의 기록물은 거의 희박하게 남아있어서 1차적 기록물 사료가 아닌 2차적 유물사료로 추측한 부분이 많아 접근이 힘들다.
그럼에도 불구하고 조선초기 조선왕조실록의 모티브가 된 '고려왕조실록'이 있었을 것으로 추정되나 임진왜란의 발발과함께 화재로 소실되었다고 전해짐
I heard theres a 2 kdramas that dont take place in the Joseon dynasty (Goryeo and Silla) but for the rest I suppose that is because there isnt as much information known compare to Joseon (which was the last and longest)
👏👏👏🇰🇷
Lot of it still rebuilt incorrectly with placements interior paintings etc. such a shame the true old Joseon palace would’ve been beutiful and a great place to eat weed edibles
That´s right. JPN destroyed it bcoz Kor´s emperor abdicated the throne by JPN´s annexation of Kor and the royal place lost the meaning of existence. JPN rebuilt the robust government office as you guys can see it at left photo in thumbnail and museum etc. instead. Kor ppls were definitely happy upon facing the end of misruling by former Kor´s government and touching modernization by JPN.
@@sangwoo9686 I kniw the real history is cruel for u guys in K-peninsula.
@@sangwoo9686 We just hate victimhood mentality of Kor´s ppl.
Does really matter it nowadays in modern world. Japan did more bad things than modernization of Korea. They only had one aim - just occupy and make everything as their own and kill who doesn't follow their rules . Thats it! Japanese emperor was just pure nazist
You remember japan never had good intentions of colonizing Korean penunsula!
@@fazilatjoraeva6470Everything would look opposite from eyes of Kor´s ppl being forced to learn fake history and to hold grudge toward JPN.
