The middle-age woman is wearing typical Hanbok while holding a fan.
Hock-chang-eui, also known as "Sim-eui-dea-dea", represents the beauty of cranes, and worn by
many scholars.
This is a type of hat called "Doo-gun". Mostly the children would wear it when they are outside.
Yellow top and red skirt are only worn by young girls before they got married. The hair should
be braided and tied with a red "Dang-ki".
The lantern boy & girl, come to the stage. Hanbok for children should usually have five different
colors.
Traditional wedding: The groom, come to the stage with "Po-sun", and the bride, come with the
helpers.
The groom and bride, face each other. The groom bow once and the bride bow three times.
Bowing three times means she would respect groom's parents and ancestors.
The brides wear a red skirt and a long coat called "Hwal-ot". This was only used for wedding
ceremonies. On the Hwal-ot, there are varieties of embroidery that has meaning, such as flowers
for wealth, and ??? for good luck and fortune. On bride's head, there are many fancy hair pieces
and a small embroidered hat called "Chokdoori". In order to hide her hands, the long piece of
fabric called "Hansam" is worn.
The grooms wear the formal outfit and it was also worn by the people who work for the royal
palace.
The commoners wear a top and pants for men, and a top and a skirt for women that were white.
The practicality and comfort were the important facts for them since they had to do all the work.
None of these were designed with pockets. These outfits may look very simple, but the commons
still wanted to design with soft round lines, not with just straight lines.
For today’s wedding of the princess, many guests and relatives came to celebrate, wearing
beautiful traditional Hanbok.
The children come to the front and bow together. Attendees, please join us for a group photo.
Thank you for watching the Korean traditional Hanbok show!
