The National Assembly Proceeding Hall (Hangul: 국회의사당; Hanja: 國會議事堂; RR: Gukhoe-uisadang) is the South Korean capitol building. It serves as the location of the National Assembly of the Republic of Korea, the legislative branch of the South Korean national government. It is located at Yeouido-dong, Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul.
The current building was completed in 1975. Before 1975 the South Korean government used the General-Government Building. The plenary chamber has seating for 400 people, ostensibly in preparation for new lawmakers in case Korean reunification actually occurs.
