🌸 Hanbok and the Global Wave
The rising popularity of K-pop Demon Hunters (케데헌) has ignited a global fascination with Korean culture. Among its biggest beneficiaries? Hanbok.
No longer confined to formal holidays, hanbok has transformed into fashion, lifestyle, and self-expression. For today’s MZ generation, hanbok is a vibrant statement — pairing traditional patterns with modern aesthetics and going viral as photo-worthy moments on social media.
This Chuseok, the Royal Culture Festival (궁중문화축전) invites you to Hanbok Yeonhyang (한복 연향) at Gyeongbokgung. It’s not just a show — it’s an immersive journey into Korea’s most iconic attire.
