@kennethsurat: Let’s talk about the Government-General of Chōsen Building, also known as the Japanese Government-General Building or the Seoul Capitol. I’m pretty sure many of us didn’t know that a massive neoclassical building once stood right in front of Gyeongbokgung Palace until a little over 30 years ago. Honestly, I only learned about it recently too after a friend told me about it. So when I went back to Seoul, I made sure to research and learn more about this part of history. That’s why I revisited Gwanghwamun Square to share this story with you guys. I’m still learning and reading more about this era, and the deeper I dive into it, the more fascinating it becomes. It’s such an important and interesting part of South Korea’s history that somehow many of us outside Korea are still not very aware of. So here’s a little background story about it 🧐 #gwanghwamunsquare #southkorea #seoul
