Korea traditional clothes, Hanbok

Today, I want to introduce Korea traditional clothes, known as Hanbok

  

These pictures are women's clothes.

Aren't they beautiful?

These are men's clothes.

Hanbok have a harmonious balance between straight lines and curves. It also obscures and hides one's body shape. So it can help a person overcome a body complex. Hanbok also allow people to move freely thanks to the wide pants and skirts. Moreover, Hanbok can protect the one's health. It keeps the upper body cool and the lower body warm which is well suited to the theory of Chinese medicine.

However, traditional Hanbok is bit complicated to wear. Therefore, nowadays it's becoming more simplified. This allows a growing number of people to wear in real life. 

 

These are reformed Hanbok which are popular nowadays. I really want many people to wear Hanbok. It's so beautiful!!

Introducing Korea

Korea is small nation in East Asia, between China and Japan. When people think about Korea, many of them think about the 'Korean war' first. After Korean war, we were divided into North and South Korea.

South Korea is where I live. We have the world's 13th largest economy ad our economy is one of the most rapidly developed in the world. We have  roughly 50million people and our capital is Seoul which together with Incheon, is one of the largest metropolitan areas in the world.  These are basic statistics but I would like to help you explore Korea more deeply.
