Systems and techniques for reconstructing a video signal include: obtaining a transform coefficient block by performing an entropy decoding and a dequantization for a current block; deriving a secondary transform corresponding to a specific area in the transform coefficient block, wherein the specific area represents an area including a top-left block of the transform coefficient block; performing an inverse secondary transform for each of subblocks within the specific area using the secondary transform; performing an inverse primary transform for a block which the inverse secondary transform is applied to; and reconstructing the current block using a block which the primary inverse transform is applied to.
