Huijeongdang and Daejojeon Halls



These are the king's (photo on the left) and queen's (photo on the right) residence halls. They were both destroyed by fire and restored in 1917 with Western influences in their bedchambers. I wasn't surprised to find out that the king was allowed to visit in the queen's residence, but the queen was not allowed to visit in the king's residence. That old double standard!
