ConclusionConclusion

Korean was ruled by many great Kings from earlier

Gojoseon period and each King had contributed to the

building up of the great Korean nation .

Traditional Korean folk culture song, dance, drama, art have their roots in Korean monarchs , and this means that

the culture itself is imbued with the rule of monarchs.

The best ways to understand many social,cultural and

architecture in Korea is by understanding the reigns of

monarchs
