La légende raconte que la porte Gwanguimun fut construite en 1396, lors de la 5ème année du règne du roi Taejo, au Sud-Est de la capitale (Séoul). Elle fut souvent appellée ‘Porte Sugumun’ (canal) et fut d’ailleurs utilisée en tant que Sigumun, signifiant littérallement “porte des corps”, puisque les processions funéraires passaient par cette porte quand elles se dirigeaient à l’Est.

Durant la guerre Imjin (invasion Japonaise de la Corée, 1592-1598), la porte de la forteresse fut détruite à tel point qu’il fut ensuite quasi impossible de retrouver son emplacement exact. Néanmoins, les efforts de reconstruction ont été entrepris en 1711 (37ème année du règne du roi Sukjong), le canal fut restoré et une tour construite. Le porte Gwanghuimun est par la suite restée intacte, même lorsque les murs de la forteresse furent démolis pour la construction de rails de tramway durant la rège coloniale japonaise. Elle fut cependant largement abîmée pendant la guerre de Corée puis laissée en ruine. En 1975, des travaux de resturation furent entrepris afin de relocaliser la porte à 15m de son emplacement d’origine, dans une optique de dégager le milieu de la route.
