How to dress in Hanbok for FREE

In Korea, Hanboks are available for free rental. So, don't hesitate to try them on, and have taken great pictures.

While there are many fantastic locations to rent hanbok in Seoul (which can be between 10,000 KRW and 20,000 KRW, also depending on other services), there is also the opportunity to wear hanbok for free!

Hanbok is traditional Korean clothing that you will recognize if you are a fan of Korean dramas.

For lovers of Korean culture, this is perhaps one of the greatest free things to do here in Seoul. Dress up in the lovely hanbok and snap some fun shots to treasure the occasion.
