Gyeongbokgung is Seoul's grandest palace — built in 1395 as the main royal palace of the Joseon Dynasty. It's one of Korea's most visited landmarks, and for good reason.
BTS made Gyeongbokgung world-famous when they performed "IDOL" in front of the Geunjeongjeon (main throne hall) for The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. The performance — traditional Korean architecture meets modern K-pop — became one of the most iconic BTS stages ever.
Visitors can rent hanbok (Korean traditional clothing) and enter for free when wearing them. The palace connects to the broader cultural heritage that BTS's Arirang album celebrates — a living reminder that all seven members are proudly Korean.
