Though it may be true that Korean traditional cultures are less “known” than those of other East Asian countries such as Japan and China, Korean traditions do offer immense and unique cultural experiences. Hanbok, in this regard, is the epitome of what Korean cultures can offer.

 

Hanbok has a long history. It has been found that Hanbok’s origin can be traced back as far as the period of three kingdoms. Because of its long, complex history, there are many variations of Hanbok, meaning there is no one perfect definition of Hanbok’s style.


Hanbok is a beautiful dress. While Hanbok has both straight and curved lines in harmony with one another to create dynamic movements, it also has vivid colors to captivate its witnesses.

Hanbok usually includes 4 major parts: jacket Jegori, trousers, a breast ribbon Goreum, and hair ornaments. While male hanbok consists of Jeogori and trouser as the basic clothes, it also comprises Magoja, a traditional top to add up the charms. Conversely, female hanbok is made of Jegori--that is shorter than that of males-- and skirts which are often largely glamorous compared to their small Jegori.


Nowadays, most Koreans do not wear Hanbok as their ordinary, everyday attire. However, many designers from all over the world have recreated Hanbok in their own styles, appealing to global, modern dressers. Not only that but also, modern Hanbok is becoming more convenient wearing, satisfying the demand for “easier,” “comfortable” clothes.

Hanbok is the embodiment of Korean traditional beauty and has inherited a lot of Korean cultural and artistic values. Hanbok will continue to offer great cultural experiences to those who are interested in Korean cultures.
