![Choi Eung-chon, head of the Cultural Heritage Administration, fourth from left, and other dignitaries celebrate the hanging of a replica signboard of the newly reconstructed Dondeokjeon at Deoksu Palace in Seoul on Monday. Dondeokjeon is a Western-style building where Emperor Sunjong of the Korean Empire was held after Emperor Gojong was forced to abdicate by Japan in 1907. Sunjong used the building to meet with foreign envoys. The reconstruction of Dondeokjeon, which started in 2017, was completed in November last year and is now being prepared to be opened to the public in September.
