People wearing a traditional men’s outfit called a “dopo” in Korean sit for “gwageo,” the highest-level state-administrated civil exam in the 1392-1910 Joseon Dynasty, in Seoul, Monday, as they write answers with notebooks and tablet PCs. The exam was held to promote the 8th Busan International Advertising Festival that will be held from Aug. 20 to 23 at the Exhibition and Convention Center in the port city of Busan. / Yonhap
