Hanbok Expo
Visitors to the 2024 Hanbok Expo, held at Dongdaemun Design Plaza on Saturday, explored a special exhibition tracing the history of hanbok (traditional Korean attire) from the Three Kingdoms era and the Goryeo Kingdom (918-1392) to the Joseon Dynasty (1392-1910) and the present day. The 2024 Hanbok Expo, the largest since its inception, features 112 companies presenting both traditional and modernized hanbok along with matching accessories, and runs through Monday.
