SEOUL WEATHER
Unhyeongung Royal Residence is a historic site located in Unni-dong, Jongno-gu in Seoul. The residence belonged to Heungseon Daewongun, Emperor Gojong's father and was where the emperor-to-be grew up as a child. Although the residence was a private home for the royal family rather than a place for political affairs, some of the most historically important events took place within the walls of Unhyeongung Royal Residence towards the end of the Joseon dynasty.

When Gojong was appointed as king at an early age, Heungseon Daewongun rose in power as king regent. During this time, Unhyeongung Royal Residence went through upscaling renovations, increasing in size and grandeur. After Heungseon Daewongun stepped down from regency, Unhyeongung Royal Residence's reputation slowly deteriorated as the family went through financial difficulties and could not afford to maintain the facilities. The ownership of the residence was confiscated by the Japanese administration in 1912, then returned to Heungseon Daewongun's descendants in 1948. The complex was then purchased by the Seoul Metropolitan Government, followed by renovation efforts in 1993 to recover and preserve whatever was left of the historical site.
