Beauty of Hanbok: Chance to experience authentic Korea
If you want to feel authentic Korea while staying here, I recommend you to try on Hanbok which is Korea’s traditional costume. Because Hanbok embeds Korea’s culture, history, and spirit in it, you can truly experience Korea culture. Also, Hanbok is Korea’s cultural heritage which represents Korea’s distinctive style with its unique designs and graceful colors placing special emphasis on the line.
For that reason, Hollywood stars who visited Korea are no exception for trying on Hanbok.
