The Cultural Heritage Administration's Office of Palaces and Royal Tombs will release eight videos, including the Royal Culture Festival and Gyeongbokgung Saenggwabang, as well as seventy photographs titled "Night of the Ancient Palaces," capturing the nights of the Four Grand Palaces (Gyeongbokgung, Deoksugung, Changdeokgung, and Changgyeonggung) online on the 17th.
