Hak Ja Han’s unused Geomun Island Palace
▲ Sun Myung Moon and Hak Ja Han open the Ocean Palace, Sept. 12, 2011
.
Geomun Island in South Korea
There are three islands, Godo, Dongdo and Seodo in the group. There is a 30m height male genital organ shaped rock below the sea of Mt. Suweolsan of Seodo. It was named as Munpilam Rock. According to a folk legend, Admiral Jeong Yeochang of the Qing Dynasty in China came to the islands and was deeply impressed and named it Geomundo.
- The Geomun Island is dotted with thick camellia forest full of old trees.
- The island has some of the most beautiful views in the Southern coast.
- Many historical sites attract the tourists as well.
- At the furthest south of Mt. Suweolsan in Seodo, you can view the Geomundo lighthouse, which was lit for the first time in 1905.
▲ Geomun Island is situated between Yeosu on the mainland and Jeju Island.
▲ The Moon’s helicopter and ferry company. The palace is located in the south-west.
The FFWPU got a building permit for a hotel, but it is a palace, called the Ocean Cheonjeong Palace Hotel. Visitors could not stay there when they knocked on the door and asked for accommodation. Many islanders do not like the hotel. Moon wanted a bigger palace, but the authorities refused. The FFWPU also bought the boat business which links the island to the mainland. About seven members look after the unused palace. It is possible that Moon bought the land in the 1970’s since there were references to Moon owning a Korean island at that time. Perhaps it could have been somewhere he could escape to.

Sun Myung Moon Sept. 12, 2011 Ocean Cheonjeong Palace Hotel dedication
“… The people of this island, however, do not think on such a large scale, and so the palace grew smaller and smaller until it became what you see now.”
“…Father has said that there must be four palaces, and according to Professor Oh, these will represent the four directions, with True Parents at the center. The main Cheonjeong Palace in Cheongpyeong represents East. This one in Geomun Island represents South. Two others, as yet unbuilt – one in Seoul and one in Switzerland – represent North and West respectively. The Ocean Cheonjeong Palace also represents a palace for the underwater world, which originally True Father had intended to establish in the Pantanal wetlands in South America. The center of the Ocean providence, however, has since moved (via Hawaii) to the Yeosu area. Professor Oh mentioned in particular that, as many have died at sea, this providence opens the way for those unhappy spirits to be liberated.”

DEOKSUGUNG SEOKJ0JEON HALL (PART 1)
덕수궁 석조전 (제 1부)
After 15 months of gradual but constant commitment, I finally completed this project!
Central Hall (중앙홀)
The main hall is a two-story structure space. It is the first space to enter when viewing.
VIP Waiting Room (귀빈 대기실)
This is the right-side hall. It's the room visitors move into after touring the central hall. This room, where guests waited to be announced to the emperor, has the same interior design as the central hall, except it lacks decorative pillars. The left door is a fake designed to strictly adhere to the English neoclassical interior style characterized by strict symmetry and opens to reveal only a blank wall.
Visitors typically waited for the emperor's audience while enjoying biscuits, snacks, champagne, and so on, served by the royal household.
The waiting room has a console table, a regular table, a round table, four chairs, an armchair, and a display cabinet. Among these, the armchair and display cabinet are original pieces, while the rest are replicas recreated based on a catalogue commissioned from Maple Furniture Company at the time of construction.
Reception Room (접견실)
This is a room located above the central hall, and it is the largest room on the first floor. It is where the emperor held audiences.
Audiences involved the emperor being approached, bowing three times in greeting, and then departing backwards, which was quite bewildering and challenging for foreign envoys.
The most expensive item in the reception room was imported European wall mirrors. The Palace of Versailles in France had a Hall of Mirrors at its centre, as mirrors were incredibly expensive and extravagant luxury items of the time. Decorating the palace, the centre of both the court and France, with mirrors was a sophisticated political manoeuvre to diminish the pride of foreign envoys and secure France's diplomatic dominance by showcasing a grand gallery of mirrors. Mirrors were costly because only skilled artisans from Venice could produce them, and there are stories of considerable efforts made by France to acquire this technology. The mirrors in the Seokjojeon Hall reception room were imported directly from Europe, cut into decorative shapes, and transported very carefully over an extended period.
The ceiling in this space is lower compared to others, likely due to its settling during the Korean War.
The Small Dining Room (��식당)
The Small Dining Room is located to the left of the reception room. While it appears to have been a gathering place for the royal family for meals, it was actually a room where a few select guests had simple meals. Compared to the main dining hall, the dining table here is smaller, accommodating up to about 5 people at most. In one corner of the room, there is a cabinet for storing spoons, knives, and forks. The ivory tableware displayed there was reportedly acquired through an auction in England during the restoration period.
This room is unique among the others in its interior finish, featuring panelling made of English oak with a lacquered appearance.
The Grand Dining Room (대식당)
The Grand Dining Room is a dazzling space that captures the attention of visitors with its crystal chandelier, luxurious tablecloths, and tableware. Located to the left of the central hall, it was a space where Western-style banquets were served to participants after formal events. The room is adorned with a long dining table and multiple chairs.

Gyeongbokgung Palace is the primary palace of the Joseon dynasty that was established in 1395 (the 4th year of King Taejo's reign) after the foundation of the dynasty in 1392.
If you time your visit right, you’ll get to see the royal guard-changing ceremony, an experience that allows you to witness full Joseon-era regalia in all its glory. The ceremony takes place twice daily (except Tuesdays) at Gwanghwamun Gate—the imposing main gate that separates the palace from one of the busiest parts of the city—at 10am and 2pm. Luckily, we arrived at 10am and we saw the ceremony first hand.
Also, it is extremely popular for visitors to wear Hanbok, their traditional costume (of course we had to try haha) when visiting the palace because (1) the entrance fee will be waived, (2) you get to feel like royalty when it's picture taking time. There are actually many affordable and easily accessible hanbok rental shops near the palace. We got ours for 30,000 won for 4 hours.
Besides the brightly-coloured ceiling, you can find interesting animal and human figures perched on the hips of palace roof to ward off evil spirits and ensure peace within.
The National Folk Museum is located on the eastern side of Gyeongbokgung Palace. Founded in 1945, the NFMK has mainly focused on exclusive research on Korean folklore as well as acquisition, preservation and exhibition of artifacts related to Koreans’ folk life. The museum exhibits Korean folklife artifacts, and all visitors can learn about the domestic and agricultural lifestyles of the people, as well as their cultural beliefs.
