A hanbok is the traditional attire of Korea, known for its elegant lines, vibrant colors, and symbolic design. It dates back over a thousand years and is deeply rooted in Korean culture and history. While modern Koreans typically wear Western-style clothing in their daily lives, the hanbok is still widely used for special occasions such as weddings, holidays, and cultural festivals.

One of the trendiest thing to do for travellers is to rent a hanbok and explore traditional locations in Seoul. You can imagine that you can get awesome photo opportunities and what’s why hiring a photographer makes sense!

It’s a 90-minute photo experience so you will have plenty of time to explore these places and get shots in the best photo spots. The price of this photoshoot is quite affordable as well so make sure you book early, specially in high season.

If you don’t know where to rent your hanbok, you can book this photoshoot first and ask the photographer about where to get one. He knows the best rental shops with the best products so don’t worry about it.
