Hanboks are traditional Korean dresses that are worn during special occasions, festivals or celebrations. There are places around Seoul where you will see more women wearing hanboks than other places. Someone wearing a hanbok gets free admission to any of the five Palaces in Seoul. The other places are Bukchon Hanok Village and Insa-dong. Bukchon Hanok Village is a part of Seoul where the houses retain their traditional style. A Hanok is a Korean traditional house.
Insa-dong, as explained in the Seoul-ful of Memories post, is a popular walking street that is full of shops, restaurants and food trucks.
Many women, including tourists, rent handbooks instead of buying them. I visited all the places mentioned above and took many pictures of women, and a few men, wearing hanboks. They were so happy that I asked to take their pictures. But, I offered to take pictures for them first. Below are some of them.
