The throne hall of Seoul's main palace.
It was used for the coronation of Joseon kings hundreds of years ago.
Finally it is opened to the public.
Won Jung-hwan takes us there.
Every year, nearly 6-million people visit Gyeongbokgung Palace, the first and largest royal palace built during the Joseon Dynasty.
The palace served as the home of the King and his household as well as the government of Joseon.
But for many years, visitors have never had a chance to actually go inside the breathtaking throne hall,... where King ruled the country.
"This place was blocked off from public view for hundreds of years, but now visitors have the opportunity to step inside for the first time"
For around one month starting on Wednesday,… as part of efforts to open up more of the palace, visitors are allowed in to savor the majestic interior of its main hall, known as Geunjeongjeon.
"The inside of Geunjeongjeon used to be kept from the public due to concerns over damage and security,... but we decided to take gradual steps to open it to the public."
Geunjeongjeon, the largest wooden building in the palace, was used for the most important royal ceremonies and functions by the leaders of Joseon.
Kings would have sat on a throne nearly 2 meters off the ground, to receive foreign guests, watch ceremonies on the stone-paved courtyard,… and host the highest level assemblies attended by their aides.
Some 75 assemblies took place every year at this place during the Joseon period.
Visitors to the throne room are overwhelmed by the 16-meter high ceiling which is decorated by a carving of a pair of golden dragons that symbolize royal authority.
"When I looked from outside,... I didn't know this place would be so spacious and cool."
"The floor is very impressive. I always thought it would be a wooden floor, but it is actually made of stone. Also, when I saw this building from outside, I thought it would be a two-story structure, but it is actually one gigantic room."
During the special visiting period until September 21,... groups of 20 visitors will be allowed into the hall through two 20-minute guided tours every day from Wednesday to Saturday, free of charge.
Reservations are only available online, and visitors must be aged 13 or older.

The former king never expected this would be happen.
Lol exactly
Or that a idiot in the north has his people enslaved and brainwashed lol
Wouldn't that give you chills? It was only seen and heard on dramas now you can see and touch it. Btw, was it renovated? How many percent was the original structure?
About 5~10%? In fact, Gyeongbokgung Palace was almost completely destroyed when Korean Empire collapsed and Japanese colonial rule came in the July of 1910. Japanese government destroyed the buildings of the palace and built a whole new architecture above that site, which was the main headquarters of Colonial government of Joseon. This Japanese building was bombed down in 1995 and reconstruction of the palace is still ongoing.
7.145%. What a stupid question
I can't remember which one, but a palace was renovated after the Japanese burned it only for them to destroy it again.
All the king's that ruled Korea would never expect this to happen in 2021😅🤣
They will rise from death and summon their royal guards to punish all the trespassers..
Wowwwwww i will definitely visit this place, after this pandemic end. 🙏🙏🙏

Não sei o porquê, mas gosto e admiro muito a Korea do Sul. Gosto muito dos doramas, principalmente os de época. Infelizmente, nesta vida não a poderei visitar. Mas fico muito contente por poder assistir aos doramas. Sou uma mulher idosa,mas meu coração uma parte é da Korea e a outra do Brasil, minha Pátria atual.

#Mr. QUEEN 👑
👌👍👍🙏
Dong Yi bring me here ❤️
SOMEDAY I GONNA TRAVEL THIS HISTORICAL SITE IN SOKOR.
I'm here because of the Kdrama The Last Empress
Choooo Naaa!!!!
When I went.. it was closed :(
i want.to see the throne hall of Goguryeo...
i think it's in the north where the kingdom was
Goguryeo throne hall i think in the present day is part of north korea
Goguryo is north korea...
Its good to see if the emperor exist until now.. what about emperor's heirs? Still live/exist?
The descendants are still alive. They might not be the progeny from first child of the king but rather the 2nd, 3rd or more, since historically, a Korean king have many queens and concubines and definitely, many sons and daughters.
The crown prince is a Korean American. I think he runs a tech company
The Joseon Dynasty is a family of Jeonju Lee Clan, and descendants hold ancestral rites.
Most of the Joseon king's successors are fake or too far away, so they have nothing to do with the royal family and are no different from ordinary people.
Punya impian untuk berkunjung kesana
Why return those Crown Estate/Lands to the Descendants instead? Just asking
I think this is mr queen take place?
Yes i think
Mr. Queen's palace was at namwon :)
It was a set. Films and shows was never shot in the real palace.
Please feature the Royal kitchen were janggeum cook
I think here was filmed "Daechita Daechita , chapultega Daechita"(sorry im western)
This is where they filmed Hwarang if I’m not wrong
Restore the monarchy and unite the Koreas under the King’s cultural authority
Won Jung-hwan the reporter can pass as a Prince of Joseon. Please bring back Korean monarchy, albeit in a limited constitutional one.
Scarlet heart ryeoooooo
This is actually where bts min yoongi did his MV for Daechwita..am i wrong?hehe..
@Heize Jung hehe thank u for correcting me..hehe..
Did they film The Last Empress here?
All palaces shown in Korean historical movies/dramas are filmed on a set that is a replica of the actual palace.
Was jumong sitting on that place?
No, he is the founder of Goguryeo. Goguryeo is an ancient country and it is different from Joseon.
Will Korea have it's King again?? Sad..the ending of the korean empire and Joseon.
Just like in civ v
Hamo mama napsyooo
How imposing the ki g probably seemed on that throne
Is this where mr queen took place
Lmao true
Mr.Queen?
Please restore the Korean monarchy. Make a constitutional king.
Kdrama brought me here
Bring the Korean Emperor BACK!
There's still a living descendants of the joseon royal family house of yi. What if they would change their constitution to constitutional monarchy
Yes, still there. But they changed their lives already.
If a constitutional monarchy were to exist in Korea, I believe that the royal family would relocate to a mansion, maybe Hanok style. The original palaces are old and should be preserved and not lived in anymore.
Not all of them are royal just because they have Lee's last name. The Jeonju Lee family is a royal family of Joseon.
whenever i look at the throne hall, what i see is too much of blood, especially in era of King Yeonsangun of Joseon
Why south korea doesnt have monarchy today? It is because their people overthrown thier last princess... What a joke.
Not their people. 😉
Japanese Imperial Killed the Korean Royal princess
Ex....cuse me?? I don't know what's you're talking about.
Last princess who? We never overthrew anyone royal.
Monarchy of Korea already collapsed when Joseon Dynasty was devoured by Japanese Empire.
Sadly the bloodline has been lost due to the colonisation by the Japanese
tf? that never happened. do you like making delusions to yourself and judge people based on that? youre the joke here
sorry to all the Koreans getting disrespected by "some" people, why tf do you care if the architecture is not your style??! ah yes, do yo expect to see some gen-z sht here? respect the goddamn culture and history! I'm not even Korean nor do I have to be to know about basic morality! Japanese invaded Korea and crushed it, don't even compare any country, the thing that matters in everyone has moved on, everyone is happy, a past is a past, we can't do anything. people just like to degrade country for fun.
그 비하를 좋아하는 사람들 대부분이 일본우익이나 중국인들이죠. 중국인들 역사의 진실은 북방미민족 왕조의 지배를 받아온 민족들이 지금 중국인들인데, 그 사실을 중국에서는 교육을 안시킵니다.
That space was/is NOT for the COMMON PEOPLE !!
Koreans forbidden city..
The ancient Korean Peninsula("朝鮮" is the name of China) has always been a place where Chinese territory and Chinese regime. Until 1900.
Yi Seong-GYE 李成桂(1335-1408) established a Chinese local regime on the peninsula . He is very sure that he is the descendant of Chinese immigrants (Yi Seong-GYE 's father is the Han people - Chinese).
Yi Seong-Gye 李成桂 leads some Chinese people to establish a Chinese local regime on the peninsula (Chinese royal family and nobles). The aristocracy also claims to be HanChinese. They use the Chinese emperor as their parents. Tribute to China like other Chinese cities.
The founders and royal members of the ancient Korean dynasty (Joseon) were Chinese. They spoke Chinese dialects and official Chinese language. Use Chinese characters. Wearing Han nationality clothing. Building a small Chinese palace on the peninsula (Gyeongbok palace景福宮).Royal members use Chinese coins. They bring Chinese culture to the Korean Peninsula.
Koreans are called as slaves (become subordinate civilians). They were wearing pure white (no dyes and technology) and women showing her nipples as beauty. This is the traditional custom of Korean .
However, the Chinese emperor on the peninsula has always forbid slaves and indigenous Koreans to learn Chinese language and Chinese characters. Koreans use indigenous language (Korean language). There are no character (until the 15th century). Almost all of them are illiterate. No coins. The trading of ancient Koreans has always been carried out in the way of exchanging items. (Until 1910).
Until 1895. China was in a war of foreign invasion.China loses the right to control and protect "Joseon ". 1900 was occupied by the Korean Peninsula in Japan. The Japanese abolished Chinese language and Chinese characters.
The Korean language and character (invention of the 15th century) of indigenous language began to popularize on the peninsula.
>>> * In 1948, the Koreans renamed the "Chinese City 漢城" to "Seoul"
------------------------------
1910. Japan has swallowed Korea. The Japanese believe that some of the low -level Korean traditional culture and primitive (women expose their nipples and transport things on their heads) are very primitive and backward. The Japanese banned Korean women from exposing the nipples (the traditional Korean costume. Hanbok).
The Korean people strongly resisted. Koreans believe that this is a traditional culture of Korea. They insist on retention.
In the Korean capital city. As long as the Japanese see those Korean women who show their nipples, they will give them penalties and slaps. After that, the Korean capital city gradually reduces Korean women's nipples. They cover the nipples with a piece of cloth.
(But in the place where there are fewer Japanese soldiers. Korean women still maintain the traditional culture that exposes nipples).
Until 1950, Westerners were still taking photos in Korea. A photo of Korean women showing nipples on the street (traditional Korean clothing). In 1970, this kind of Korean traditional culture disappeared completely.
------------------------------
* Ancient Korean traditional costumes are pure white (the Korean people have been known as the "White clothes nation" since ancient times), and women's clothes are exposed (the Korean people show their nipples to represent the beauty). This reflects the ancient Korean people and thoughts.
I feel sorry for the Chinese government
It's stupid not to know their own history. That's a mental illness.ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
No Koreans want to be Chinese, so cry harder wumao.
Tax payer money?
Yes, but definitely none of your business. u dont pay taxes in Korea after all. 🙄
Japanese people sat on that throne during japanese annexation
Japan built a building in front, did not sit on that throne
@@whisperer1705 no, they used it before the building was built
@@ibramnarendra Japan demolished most of the buildings in Gyeongbokgung Palace to build their own.
@@whisperer1705 japanese military ruler demolished front building and wall, but not the main building. Before they built new building, they used throne room to rule. You better read the history
How to open while now Korean country is very afraid to visit because now Korean people rallying like hongkong because the Korean economic is now lost Korean wanting help of japan
Lol nice grammar😂😂😂😂😂
English please
It was the Japanese Empire that destroyed Gyeongbokgung Palace in the first place.
Do the Japanese have no conscience? Imperial European countries rarely destroyed royal palaces or palaces even when they touched colonies.
Japan has accepted culture through the Korean Peninsula from ancient times to modern times, and Japan's explosive economic growth and Korea's falling behind is also the influence of the Korean War.
Why are the Japanese so jealous of Korea? If you really don't like Korea, don't worry about it. You look nervous because you're losing one by one these days.
Don't worry about Korea and worry about Japan. Your Japan has been contaminated by Fukushima radiation, and the Northeast and the oceans have been polluted, and the Tokyo Olympics are not doing well, and the Corona virus measures are a mess, and public organizations are still using Pex.
It's a country like the dying sun with no dreams, no future, with a massive earthquake planned in 30 years.
What are you talking about??? Its confusing 😂
I mean the least you can do is be mindful and be apologetic for the behavior of your ancestors😑
Korea has been independent from China for one hundred years.😭My Chinese Empire😭😭😭😭
Go to a mental hospital and see a doctor.
@@Eu_0991 Is there anything wrong with what I said?😓The treaty of Korean independence was signed by Japan and China, and it has nothing to do with Koreans.😅
@@user-jj6mx3tc1gyes everything wrong with what you said.
Korea royal family and royal buildings look so boring, not interesting at all
ah yes, they were going to build the whole palace, especially for your honor to like it
With the exception of the Qing invasion and the Imjin wars, Korea was enjoying a relatively long period of peace. By the mid Joseon dynasty, Neo-Confucianism dominated Korean philosophy. Unless they were fortress gates or the like, the majority of Korean architecture at this time period was not meant to look imposing, instead there was a huge emphasis on humbleness, details, elegance, practicality, and integration with its surroundings. It's also why you can hardly find many 2 story houses during this period.
In Gyeongbokgung's case when looked at afar, the main palace room creates a picture with the mountain in the back(bukak mountain). When looked at up close you see the complex interlocking wooden roof support, the contrast of colours in the paint patterns, and the details in the ceramic 'Giwa' roof tiles. On its own is a work of art.
Also keep in mind that a lot of the palace was destroyed by the Japanese during colonialism, it's not to its full capacity.
If you want to look at more imposing Korean architecture then look into previous time periods like the Koryo dynasty and especially the three kingdoms period (such as Silla's 9 story temple which was the tallest structure in Asia at the time) when Buddhism (and indigenous Shamanism) was more prevalent in Korean society.
you, on the other hand, are as lame as anyone could get when it comes to making lame, no-life-at-all comment. Get a life🙄
You r boring, lame dude.
Since Joseon was a Confucian country, it built a royal palace that harmonized with nature based on frugality without being extravagant.
