GVC - LEARN ABOUT HANBOKThursday: Itaewon Global Village Center invites expats to learn about hanbok, or Korean traditional dress.
The session at the National Folk Museum of Korea will start with an information presentation about hanbok and how it was worn in the past. The group will also watch part of the Korean movie “Scandal” to learn more about the beauty of the traditional clothing. The group will then tour an exhibition hall to see hanbok as worn in the past by members of the royal family. Lastly, the group will have a chance to make a bok jumeoni, the literal translation of which is “lucky pocket.” In the past, these small brightly colored satchels were often worn by women as an accessory to the hanbok and used to carry valuables or money.
The group will depart from Itaewon-Hannam Global Village Center at 10 a.m.
Admission is 5,000 won.
