Seonungak Wedding [선운각웨딩] is a wedding venue located in Seoul’s neighborhood Ui [Ui-dong/우이동] — in the Bukhansan National Park [북한산국립공원] — in the Gangbuk District [Gangbuk-gu/강북구]. It is appears to have retained the original name of this hanok premises (‘Seonungak [선운각]‘), which served as one of three places that politicians in the 1980s would hold secret meetings at — one other being Samcheonggak [삼청각]. After the 10.26 incident, other organizations came through to purchase it for their own purposes, such as opening restaurants or places of prayer.
