I think the only Marriott hotel they own that doesn't have the Josun name is the new Gravity Autograph Collection hotel which is located a bit south of Seoul.
That at least explains the branding, but they're still being more than a bit deceptive in the way they describe this hotel. They're pretty clearly trying to make people either think this is the original 1914 property, or at least that it's the successor hotel, on the site of it.
