⭐ Core Definition: Hanbok

The hanbok (Korean한복; Hanja韓服; lit. Korean dress) is the traditional clothing of the Korean people.

The term hanbok literally means Korean clothing. In South Korea and internationally, it is the standard term for the attire. North Koreans refer to the clothes as chosŏnot (조선옷; lit. Korean clothes). The attire is also worn in the Korean diaspora. Koryo-saram—ethnic Koreans living in the lands of the former Soviet Union—also retained a hanbok tradition.
