This time, I will introduce Hanbok for men who became famous abroad  because of the Netflix drama Kingdom. Viewers who watched the Kingdom said that one of the reasons why they were interested in the drama was its unique costumes and hats. It seemed very interesting to wear different hats and clothes depending on their status and occupation. Then the hanbok that Hanboknam is wearing today is.   So-called Seonbi Hanbok! It is a hanbok worn by men of ordinary people during the Joseon Dynasty. Depending on the wearer's hierarchy or level of wealth, there is a difference in material or color.

Introducing Hanbok with New Design

This hanbok is an elegant design with beautiful Oriental paintings on top of the skirt. Traditionally, red is a popular color for women.  Adding thin lace fabric to traditional hanbok design,  It's a more feminine and luxurious hanbok. The painting on the skirt is designed to further upgrade the elegance of the jeogori. The three layers of skirt are layered, so it's good to make it look plentiful. The design is being ordered by the mothers of the bride and groom for the wedding.  Red is worn by the bride's mother and green by the groom's mother.  This is the hanbok worn by the mothers of the groom at the bottom.

Korea's Couple Days!

Hello Everyone! Hanboknam is back!  Since it's February already,  I would want to talk about Valentines day and other special days that Korea's culture have in Korea!  First of all, Have you wondered how different is valentines in your country and in Korea?  Actually there are not much difference between different countries!  In other countries such as America, Valentines day is a day where you show your love to everyone regardless if you are a couple or not.  In Korea we do that too, but it is usually the women giving chocolates or gifts to their love ones.  This day is really focused for the couples! There is another special day in Korea that we follow after Valentines day which is called "White day."   White day happens right after a month of Valentines day which is on March 14!  White day is a day where men give women chocolates and gifts; it is the opposite from Valentines day. White day is also a day focus on couples.  Do your co

Hello I am Hanboknam!  I have talked about the Korean Local Market on my previous post.  Today I want to talk about a night market of the Philippines.  Mercato Centrale's Midnight Mercato at BGC!  This night market is located at Bonifacio Global City (BGC) which is one of the business districts in the Philippines.  Mercato Centrale's Midnight market opens Wednesday to Saturday at 6PM-3AM. Until 3AM!! Surprising right? It is truly a night market!  The night market was not that messy and was well organized.  The food were not too expensive so what I did was to give myself a limit of 200 pesos which is about 4 dollars.  What I bought were different kinds of skewers because when I entered the market, I smelled the meat grilling on charcoal!  These were the skewers I selected.  Chicken Intestines, Pork Barbeque, and Pig ears.  I bought these so that I can bully my employees, but actually, it was really yummy!  It was savory, chewy, and was great
