El Gran Rey Sejong (“世宗”, 1397-1450, reinado: 1418-1450), 4º soberano de la dinastía Joseon, fue una figura crucial en la historia de Corea, por la creación del alfabeto coreano hangeul y por los brillantes desarrollos que logró en los sectores de la ciencia, cultura y arte, política militar, etc.
Detrás de la estatua de bronce del Rey Sejong ubicada en la Plaza Gwanghwamun está la entrada a la Sala de la Historia del Rey Sejong, donde se exponen material informativo y piezas culturales relacionadas a este gran personaje de la Historia. Consta con una superficie de 3.200 ㎡, distribuidos en 9 espacios temáticos; la cronología del Rey Sejong, el Minbon Sasang (ideología política centrada en el pueblo), la Creación del Hangeul, la Ciencia y el Arte, la Política Militar de Sejong, entre otros. Los visitantes podrán aprender aquí la historia del hangeul. Además, hay otras instalaciones anexas: sala de exposición especial, sala audiovisual, textos informativos, tienda de suvenires, espacio para descansar, etc.
Por otra parte, una estatua de Yi Sun-shin, el mejor comandante naval de la historia de Corea, fue inaugurada en la Plaza Gwanghwamun, ante la del Rey Sejong el Grande, para celebrar el 465 aniversario de su nacimiento. El 28 de abril de 2010 se inauguró la Sala de la Historia del Almirante Yi Sun-shin, en el subsuelo del Centro Cultural Sejong, para conmemorar su vida y sus logros. La exposición abarca temas relacionados con la vida del almirante Yi, que van desde la determinación y la devoción a la lealtad del país y los compatriotas. El museo utiliza lo último en tecnología digital para dar vida a este gran héroe. Otra gran atracción del museo es el barco acorazado geobukseon (buque con forma de tortuga), que Yi utilizó en sus batalals navales, a una escala de 55% del tamaño real. A pesar de ese tamaño, el barco todavía es lo suficientemente grande como para que los huéspedes suban y remen con los remos, y tiene una pantalla digital de las olas del océano jugando con monitores para una experiencia 4D.

Built in 1939, Dongchonchae was designated as Seoul Well Hanok by the Seoul Metropolitan City in 2016. In 2020, this hanok (traditional Korean house) received the Certificate of KOREA QUALITY from the Korea Tourism Organization in the Heritage Hanok field in recognition of its historicity and quality of services. Dongchonjae is located in the western side of Gyeongbokgung Palace, at Seochon. When one passes through its main gate, one sees the yard, with anchae (women's quarters), sarangchae (men's quarters), and byeolchae (detached quarters) surrounding the plot. Anchae has four rooms, daecheong (wood-floored main hall), a kitchen, and a restroom. One of the rooms is used for tea ceremonies as well. Outside of the sarangchae and byeolchae, which are the living spaces for the owners, visitors have free access to the numaru (raised open floor) and the yard. The anchae’s rooms “Bom” and “Yeoreum” can accommodate 2 to 3 adults each, while the rooms “Gaeul” (Tea Room) and “Gyeoul” are optimal for two. The building is rented out as a whole, so no more than one group may stay in the building at any given time. Standard occupancy is four persons, and eight is the maximum number. There are two restrooms, one within the anchae building, one out in the backyard.
Cooking is not allowed in the kitchen, but guests are free to bring in outside food.
