Le Hall Jungmyeongjeon est situé à côté du théâtre Chongdong. On peut y accéder facilement en longeant le mur de pierre du Palais Deoksugung. Ce bâtiment de trois niveaux de style occidental, conçu par l’architexte russe Seredin Sabatin, a accueilli la bibliothèque impériale entre 1897 et 1901. Il était connu à l’origine sous le nom de Suokheon.

Après l’incendie du Palais Deoksugung, le Hall Jungmyeongjeon est devenu le bureau principal de l’empereur Gojong pour y discuter des affaires nationales et y accueillir les dignitaires étrangers. Ce bâtiment a également été le témoin des heures les plus tragiques de l’histoire, avec la signature de l’infâme traité de Eulsa, instaurant le protectorat entre le Japon et la Corée.

Le Hall Jungmyeongjeon se trouvait à l’origine dans l’enceinte du Palais Deoksugung, mais il a été ensuite séparé du palais lorsqu’un mur de pierre a été construit entre les deux. Il présente un style architectural coréen moderne, mais malheureusement, il a perdu une grande partie de sa structure originale à l’exception de son extérieur à cause d’un incendie en 1925. Après la libération du joug japonais le 15 août 1945, le Hall Jungmyeongjeon a eu différents usages. En septembre 2006, la propriété du Hall Jungmyeongjeon est passée à l’Administration des Biens Culturels, et il a été classifié comme appartenant au Palais Deoksugung en tant que Site Historique n° 124 en février 2007.
