The Sejong Hansoldong Tomb Complex is a refined historic site confirmed through excavation surveys conducted during Sejong City development, where Baekje-era dwellings and numerous burial mounds were discovered and preservation measures were decided. It represents the graves of regional powers that built the Naseongdong city ruins and fortress, maintaining close relations with the Baekje central authority. The site reflects the characteristics of horizontal-chamber stone-built tombs from the Hanseong period and the transition process of tomb construction methods into the Ungjin period, while also demonstrating diverse features not previously confirmed in existing horizontal-chamber stone-built tombs, thereby possessing significant value. The Sejong Hansoldong Tomb Complex began construction in the mid-5th century before the capital relocation to Ungjin and continued to be used until the early Ungjin period, clearly showing the transformation process of construction methods for horizontal-chamber stone-built tombs from the Hanseong through early Ungjin periods, thereby holding considerable historical and academic value. Notably, Tomb No. 2 of the Sejong Hansoldong Tomb Complex is characterized by its inclusion in the relatively large scale among Baekje horizontal-chamber stone-built tombs confirmed to date, the entire burial chamber being constructed underground, the construction form of wall stones, the sloped long corridor, stone capping above the corridor entrance, corridor entrance stones, and grave marker stones—diverse construction techniques not commonly found in existing horizontal-chamber stone-built tombs.
