I agree with Ferret:The room in question is before the Barrier. The barrier is behind the door.

We never know exactly where Asgore's room is, since it appears to be entirely covered in white, likely sunlight radiating through the Barrier, as it lets light in, but not out-Thus, it also reflects all the light that comes its way, and as a result, must manifest itself as a visible, white wall, and glows because it lets all the light in-So it appears as though it is radiating.

Yet, the end door that we enter to reach Asgore's fight (The one right before the Key Room), does not radiate this white light, which should very well be visible if the Barrier is directly afterwards. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eqypnw6gQNg

Of course, you might argue that the graphics were never implemented. After all, the door beyond that doesn't have white light coming through it either. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wLQ9miYFaQY (I'd say the Barrier is pretty far beyond the door.. And up as well. In the intro, you couldn't see the Underground at all from the hole until after Chara visibly fell, which makes sense as light wouldn't be allowed out, so you'd get nothing. So that places the Barrier pretty high up there:Which makes sense-That's the easiest place to put it. If you had to walk the staircase pretty high to reach the Barrier, you wouldn't see the white light through the door.)

But there is more evidence to show that, in fact, this mystery room is not beyond the Barrier. As the video shows, there was a door beyond this. This door could not have been built if it was on the other side of the Barrier. The monsters couldn't just cross the Barrier to build that door! If they could do that, the Barrier wouldn't be much of a Barrier. You might argue that the monsters were banished on the New Home end, and that's when they built the door, but why would they build a door that they'd literally NEVER be able to use, and how is it still standing in perfect condition millenia after being built with zero maintenance?

It simply doesn't make any sense for this room to be beyond the Barrier. We did NOT cross the Barrier.
