Wearing a hanbok is always number one on someone’s bucket list when visiting Korea. Wearing it in a day, makes you feel like a princess, prince, king, or queen. While dreaming of wearing a hanbok, looking for a good rental shop is also on the list. There are so many rental shops near Gyeongbokgung and I have actually tried Doryeong Assi many times. So this time, I’ve tried another shop and I’m so happy with their services.
Before we proceed to why you should rent at Hanbokgirls, I wanna share with you a few things about Hanbok. The Hanbok is the traditional clothes of Korea. The traces of Hanbok started during the Three Kingdoms of Korea. In the Joseon dynasty, the patterned Hanbok was worn especially by noble people and royalty. During those days, the Hanbok was worn according to your status like social class, gender, marital status, and age.
These days, Hanbok is only worn during holidays like Chuseok, Seolal, weddings, and 1st birthday. But did you know that Koreans also wear a Hanbok when someone dies? The man wears a suit while the woman from the family wears a black hanbok with a white ribbon hairpin.
Nowadays, the Hanbok has arisen in many aspects. From popularity, design and became an icon of South Korea. Going back to the main topic of this post, I’m sharing with you the 5 reasons why you should rent at Hanbokgirls.
