Royal guards at Gyeongbokgung Palace in Seoul's Jongno-gu District on Jan. 27 stand in front of Gwanghwamun Gate, which has hanging on it two munbaedo paintings. Munbae is the custom of hanging pictures on Lunar New Year's Day (Seollal) on the main gate of a palace to drive away evil spirits and attract good luck, thus munbaedo refers to a picture used for this purpose.
