Cleanup begins after Korea's "#1 National Treasure" was destroyed by fire. More information here. Rebuilding may take 2 - 3 years. (Sadly, Gwanghwamun is also a construction site for the next few years due to its relocation. Guess someone's getting some practice rebuilding these things.)

One paper ("The Daily Focus") described the loss of the gate saying: "The Face of Korea Collapses".

For pictures of the fire, see this set by pwalks.
