Visitors wearing "hanbok" (traditional Korean dress) take pictures at the newly restored Gyejodang Hall of Gyeongbok Palace in central Seoul, Wednesday. The Gyejodang Hall was used as an office of crown princes of the Joseon Kingdom (1392-1910) but demolished by the Japanese colonial government soon after the annexation of Korea by Japan in 1910. The Cultural Heritage Administration started the resotration project in 2018 and the restored building is open to the public starting Wednesday. Yonhap
