Le hall de l’histoire de la prison de Seodaemun est un musée particulier situé au parc de l’Indépendance de Seodemun. Il a été construit à la fin du royaume de Joseon (~1910), et fut le principal instrument d’oppression utilisé par les Japonais où de nombreux patriotes coréens du mouvement indépendent furent torturés et éxécutés.
Il est muni d’une prison au sous-sol, où Yu Gwan-Sun périt après le mouvement du 1er mars, de tour-vigies, d’une salle de torture, d’une salle d’éxécution, de 7 cellules de prison, d’un hall d’exposition historique etc.
Le 1er étage est « un lieu d’honneur », où vous pouvez découvrir la prison de Seodaemun grâce à un système de graphiques. Un grand écran montre l’histoire de sa construction et les périodes transitoires de son évolution. Il y a des expositions spéciales et la salle commune qui exposent des faits sur l’Histoire de Corée.
Le deuxième étage traite de « l'Histoire » et vous pouvez voir différentes salles d’exposition concernant « la résistance nationale », « l’histoire de la prison » et « la vie en prison ». Vous pourrez remarquer que les Coréens n’ont jamais perdu leur esprit national ou leur opiniâtreté à retrouver leur liberté, malgré ce chapitre particulièremenet noir de leur Histoire. La « salle expérimentale » est la plus effroyable et terrifiante de la prison. Dans les salles de « détention provisoire » ou de « torture » vous verrez avec frayeur des scènes réalistes de torture reconstituées.
Dans le Parc de l’Indépendance de Seodaemun se trouvent, le vestige historique N˚ 32 (Dongnimmun), N˚ 33 (Yeongeunmunjucho), le hall de l’Indépendance, le monument des martyrs, et le monument de la déclaration de l’Indépendance du 1er mars.

Dongnimmun se trouve sur un site autrefois connu sous le nom de Yeongeun, où étaient reçus les envoyés. Lors de la visite d'un envoyé chinois, le roi passait par cette porte pour le saluer. Dongnimmun fut bâtie en 1897, afin de proclamer l'indépendance de la Corée vis-à-vis du Japon, de la Russie et de la Chine, qui ont influencé et menacé la Corée depuis longtemps.
La construction a été financée par les dons des citoyens coréens. Les traces du passé sont toujours visibles à Dongnimmun. Les deux piliers devant Dongnimmun sont des vestiges de Yeongeungmun.

La forme de Dongnimmun évoque celle de l'Arc de Triomphe en France. Dongnimmun a été construite au moyen d'un mur de granit, avec un passage de 14,28 m de haut. L'inscription "Dongnimmun" en coréen se trouve en haut du fronton, entourée des deux côtés par le drapeau coréen. Un escalier situé sur la partie intérieure gauche permet d'accéder à la partie supérieure. Des fleurs nationales Mugunghwa sont plantées tout autour de la porte. A présent, des routes passent tout autour, et la porte attire le regard de tous les passants.
