On the 20th, the changing of the guard ceremony, which had been suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic, resumed in front of Daehanmun Gate at Deoksugung Palace in Jung-gu, Seoul. The Seoul Metropolitan Government announced that it would restart the Deoksugung Royal Guard changing ceremony and patrol procession, which had been halted since February when the spread of COVID-19 began. The changing ceremony is held three times a day from Tuesday to Sunday (11:00 AM, 2:00 PM, and 3:30 PM), and the patrol procession takes place once a day (after the 11:00 AM changing ceremony). / Reporter Kim Hyun-min kimhyun81@
