Accordingly, access to pavilions in the Daejojeon area, such as Hamwonjeon and Gyeonghunggak, will be restricted. The Changdeokgung Management Office stated, "The construction period has been extended due to on-site conditions such as winter weather," and "visitation to the Daejojeon area will be temporarily suspended."

Daejojeon of Changdeokgung Palace is the foremost building among the queen's quarters. It has undergone many changes, including the main building and its annexes, due to multiple fires and reconstructions. The current building was rebuilt after a major fire in 1917. In 1919, Gyotaejeon from Gyeongbokgung Palace was relocated here, and the interior was decorated in a Western style.
