  "summary": "Korea is offering free entry to its royal palaces and historic tombs during the Chuseok festival, which is the nation's major autumn harvest celebration. This includes the Gyeongbok Palace, Changdeok Palace, Deoksu Palace, Changgyeong Palace, and Jongmyo Shrine, as well as Joseon royal tombs. The free admission will be available from Thursday to Sunday, allowing visitors to explore the regal courtyards and historic grounds without any cost. While Changdeok Palace's rear garden will not be included in the free admission program, other attractions such as the changing of the guard ceremony and royal guard patrols will be available for viewing without reservations. Additionally, an online program called \"Everyone's Genre Painting 2026\" will be offered from Friday to November 1, allowing participants to create personalized characters inspired by Korean heritage.",
