Nakseonjae, the venue of the event, is a building constructed in 1847 by King Heonjong, the 24th monarch of the Joseon Dynasty, to serve as a study and living quarters. Unlike other buildings within the palace, it lacks dancheong (traditional multicolored paintwork), giving it a simple appearance, but its doors, windows, fences, and chimneys are decorated with various patterns.
