- Korea Hanbok Festival

The event is designed to encourage more Koreans to wear the country’s traditional costume and enhance their love of things uniquely Korean as part of the efforts made by the Ministry Culture, Sports and Tourism to commercialize and globalize the six leading items, i.e. Hangeul (Korean alphabet), hansik (Korean traditional food), hanbok (Korean clothes), hanok (Korean traditional house), hanji (Korean traditional paper) and hanguk eumak (Korean traditional music).
The event includes: ▲ Hanbok Fashion Show & Beauty Pageant in Hanbok, ▲ Child Beauty Pageant in Hanbok, ▲ Hanbok Designer Collection, ▲ Design Contest for Hanbok Made with New Materials, ▲ Hands-on Experience of Hanbok for Children, etc.
It is both a festivity for existing hanbok designers and an opportunity for young designers to publicize themselves.
