I never heard that Gyeongbok palace is still used by the ex-royal family of Chosun dynasty. They don't live there. I corrected it but somebody changed it back.

No, I haven't either. Now it turns to be a museum. --Aphaea 00:54, 3 Nov 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Picture

I have replaced the picture with the old version. I like the new picture, too, but its licence is unclear. Also, the old picture is a featured picture... Kokiri 18:36, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] The title

This royal palace along with others in Seoul has been called in several spelling such as below

  1. Gyeongbokgung (original name)
  2. Gyeongbokgung Palace
  3. Gyeongbok Palace

so I move it back to the original title to discuss it for the matter. I think this naming matter is associated with other suffixes such as san (산 mountain), sa or am (사, 암, Buddhist temple), so this can't be simply spelled. --Appletrees (talk) 16:02, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
