A Hanbok is a traditional Korean dress for semi-formal or formal attire during traditional occasions such as festivals, celebrations, and ceremonies. It is characterized by vibrant colors and simple lines without pockets. Although the term literally means "Korean clothing", today Hanbok usually refers specifically to clothing worn during the Joseon dynasty period. Korea had a dual clothing tradition in which rulers and aristocrats adopted different kinds of mixed foreign-influenced indigenous styles while commoners preserved a distinct style of indigenous clothing, today known as hanbok.

On our way to Gyeongbokbung Palace we stopped in Hanoch village section of Seoul where Sue-On and Rebecca were outfitted in Hanbok dresses. We carried on to the Palace grounds which were full of visitors wearing these colourful costumes.
