What is Han-Bok?

A long time ago, Korean people wore a Han-Bok. All of the people that lived in Korea wore the Han-Bok, but it was weaved difference according to one’s position in society. If a person had a high position, the person wore very high quality clothes such as a fancy, gorgeous, and expensive Han-Bok, but if a person had a lowly position, the person wore a plainly designed Han-Bok. Now, I will introduce about the Han-Bok, which is Korea’s traditional clothing. First, Han-Bok has two kinds of shape for women and men. For example, women wear the Jeogori which is a Korean traditional jacket and the Chima which is a Korean traditional skirt. They have beautiful colors. Men wear the Jeogori and pants, but men also wear several other clothes because they often go out side such as work, and study in other places or trip. Next, these days we mostly wear the Han-Bok at festivals and celebrations. For instance, when we have a wedding day, a bride, a groom and their family wear them during the wedding ceremony. Also, we wear them when we have holiday such as New Year and Korea’s Thanksgiving. In addition, on a baby’s first birthday, they should wear the Han-Bok. Last, there is a small difference in shape between the past and the present. For example, we wore the original Han-Bok in the past, but these days Koreans, do not like them because they think, the Han-Bok is uncomfortable and expensive. So, they change their design, and quality of fabrics. It looks comfortable and reduces the burden of wearing them. In conclusion, I introduced about the Han-Bok, which is the traditional clothing of Korea. The Han-Bok has different shapes for women and men, and its shape and fabric have evolved over time. Also, when Korean people have festivals and celebrations, they usually wear the Han-Bok.

They looked like they were singing songs, and they had conversations to each other. I also saw families of ducks. They always moved together, and they had great time because they looked happy. Also, I saw small and big rabbits. When I saw these rabbits, they were usually chewing something. One of the rabbits looked chubby. The rabbit had big cheeks, but the rabbit was very cute, and it had beautiful gray hair and nice ears. Then I saw yellow cat. Actually, my housemate had a yellow cat named Bisco. So, I was surprised when I saw the cat outside of my house. They looked very similar. Brisco has yellow eyes, but the cat had blue eyes. After a few days, my friend and I were watching TV.
