Hanyang(Seoul) was the center of politics, administration, and life in the Joseon Dynastyperiod. The Royal Palace was not only the place which the king lived in, but alsothe authority which represented the Joseon Dynasty. However, the Imperialism of Japanstarted to demolish and destroy the Royal Palace, Gyeonbokgung(景福宮) under thedevelopments of Hanyang. The Joseon Industrial exhibition, 5th anniversary under theImperialism of the Japan, hold in 1915 and the Joseon Exposition, 20th anniversary underthe Imperialism of Japan hold in 1929 were the important incidents that Gyeonbokgungwas demolished and the Imperialism of Japan publicized their advancement of cultureand modern civilization. Also, they replaced the Gyeoungbokgung by the Government-General Building and removed the boundary and graces of the palace.
