restaurant complex proper (Seoul)

This was the proper complex. the more brilliant standing out complex you've outlined was the palace, which I saw one time, when the manager gave us a special looksie. They'd kept it in pristine condition and looked a lot like the palaces downtown, maybe just not as old. One imagines that VIP parties took place in this upper compound, especially the 'Zanadu' type movie star-and-general studded parties that were rumored to have taken place during the dictatorship. Maybe it was here that the increasingly bad news of Kwangju was learned....

by the way, what do they mean by 'bad words'? just a funny expression.
