How It Works

Five simple steps from reservation to return.

  1. Reserve your visit

    Send your reservation details (name, visit date & time, number of people) in advance by email to seohwahb@naver.com or via Instagram @seohwahanbok, and weโ€™ll reply to confirm. Reservations arenโ€™t mandatory, but without one you may have to wait โ€” especially on weekends and public holidays, so early booking is strongly recommended.

  2. Choose your favorite hanbok

    Select your preferred design in-store. You may try on hanbok up to two times and rent one of the two you tried on. Advance design reservations before visiting are not available.

  3. Add accessories

    Pick your hair accessories and norigae. A variety of accessories are provided free of charge. Special items such as gat and ikseongwan are available for an additional 4,000 KRW.

  4. Enjoy your experience

    Explore Gyeongbokgung and the surrounding royal palaces in your hanbok, and create special memories at the location of your choice.

  5. Return the hanbok

    After returning the hanbok and all accessories, collect your deposited identification and security deposit.
