Attire (Hanbok)

Do you love Korean drama? If you die-hard fans of Korean dramas, you definitely know what is Hanbok right?

Yes, Hanbok is a traditional Korean clothing, I quite like the Korean traditional clothes because, in my view, the close every genitals and nice to see. hehe. But when the modern era comes, Hanbok also transform to modern design. But still, Korean people love to use old design because it seems more proper.

This time I want to share a little bit about traditional Korean clothing. I think this Korean traditional dress looks unique and very cool <---- this is just my opinion. I do not know how you think about it, hope you do give the same view as mine, as hanbok is indeed unique and beautiful.

First of all I want to say, why this Korean traditional clothes called hanbok (한복).

"Han" is the designation for Korea, because in Korean language, Korea is Hanguk (한국). And for "bok", it means clothes in Korea. So if you combine the "han" and "bok", it would mean = Korean clothes (hanbok)

If you want to know, the Koreans, they are very proud of Hanbok as their identity. As you know, Korea has two, namely North and South Korea, North Korea did not call this traditional hanbok clothes, they call it "Jeoseon ot" (저선 옷). This is not surprising; therefore, traditional Korean clothing is the most famous clothing Jeoseon developing dynasty, the last dynasty of Korea. Before dynasty Jeoseon, hanbok more complicated and impractical to wear while was doing the job every day.

 If you look at Korean drama or movie, there's Hanbok one color, there are also colorful. If it colorful it means the person rich or having the rank. If they wear white, pale yellow or even same colors like that means that they are ordinary people. I am a Korean drama lovers just found out about this when I read about this Hanbok.

 The nobility (Yangban / 양반) generally wear Hanbok made of hemp and colorful, beautiful colors. While the average person only uses cheap materials, because they can not buy because it is expensive and the colors used are colors patel, like puti, pale yellow color and is usually between superiors and subordinates. Up to now, Koreans still wear Hanbok in ceremonies or anniversaries such as the Chuseok (like 'Thanksgiving), or Seol-nal (Lunar / New Year).
