Bummer! I saw that gate several times when in Seoul for business. Hope they rebuild it.

Arson Suspected in Namdaemun Fire
...
According to firefighters, Namdaemun did not seem to sustain major damage other than minor burning to the area underneath the roof.
Police suspect someone deliberately started the fire as a taxi driver, identified only by his surname Lee, said he saw a man in his 50s go up the stairs of the gate with a shopping bag, while he was waiting to pick up a customer in the nearby area. Lee said he then saw a spark like a firework and reported it to police, adding the man came down the stairs afterwards. The taxi driver said he drove around looking for the man but could not find him.

The gate was renovated in the 1960s and again in 2005. I hope that means that there are good blueprints and photo documentation on hand, so it can be rebuilt.
What a marvelous treasure -- and what a terrible loss -- to all cultures! :-(

Such a shame. I hate to see beautiful historical sites lost.
