This program features a tour of the Huijeongdang Hall and the Daejojeon Hall – spaces where the King and Queen resided and carried out their official duties – and will be conducted with commentary in English. Due to the space constraints, participation is limited to 20 people, and priority is given to RAS Korea lifetime and annual members on a first-come, first-served basis. Non-members may also register but will be added to the final participant list only if space remains, on a first-come, first-served basis. . . DATE & TIME: Saturday.
