The Palace and Tombs Heritage Headquarters of the National Heritage Administration and the National Heritage Promotion Agency announced on September 22 that the "Starlight Night Walk" will be held every Wednesday to Sunday from October 15 to November 2 in the northern area of Gyeongbokgung Palace.

The Starlight Night Walk is a signature nighttime event that combines a royal cuisine experience with an exploration of the northern area of the palace. It takes place twice each day (at 6:30 p.m. and 7:40 p.m.), with each session lasting 110 minutes.

Participants will taste "Doseoksurahsang," a modern reinterpretation of the twelve-dish royal table once served to the king and queen at Gyejodang, and enjoy a traditional performance. Afterwards, they will stroll around the areas of Gyotaejeon, Geoncheonggung, and Hyangwonjeong, taking in the autumn night atmosphere of the palace.

This year’s event will feature the performance "Janggo Mama and Nain" at Janggo, the royal storehouse, and the interior of Jibokjae-meaning "the place where treasures are gathered"-will be opened to the public.

Registration is conducted by lottery. Applications can be submitted only once per account on Ticketlink, from 2:00 p.m. on September 24 until 11:59 p.m. on September 30.
