This is Haewhamun which is located between Sukjeongmun and Heunginjimun!

After constructing Changkyeonggung, its name is changed from Honghwamun to Hyewhamun!

Currently, Hongwhamun is the gate of Changkyeonggung

This is Soseomun which is called Sodukmun and located between Doneuimun and Soongraemun,

It changed its name as Soeuimun,

and removed just like Doneuimun,

so we only could see its plot!

Namsomun is called as Gwangheemun,

it is located between Soongraemun and Heunginjimun!

It also called Sugumun because it was the gate where Cheongkyecheon river flew

Buksomun which is also called Changeuimun

is located between Dongeuimun and Sukjeongmun,

it was called Jahamun at times,

When Sukjeongmun was closed,

Changeuimun was opened instead of it

So, people called it Bukmun at the same time~
