"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://youtu.be/wLQ9miYFaQY?t=994

Well...thanks for making my argument for me????????

But, I don't see a reason why the barrier isn't its own light-generator. Like you pointed out, we can't see any light from the outside world, so how is the barrier getting light? It's likely that the barrier creates its own light...but if that's the case, that means that the room without light is after the barrier!

"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."

Is that your only piece of evidence?

I mean, it's odd, I guess. But that doesn't really disprove the theory!

It's important to note that in True Pacifist, this room takes the place of the room where the barrier was. If this room wasn't before the barrier room, then it was after the barrier room.

Plus, Asgore's castle isn't a "blindspot"; in most routes, someone else becomes ruler of the underground! In order to do that, they'd have to go in the castle.
