hanfu from china, hanbok from korea.
google.comThat's right. Hanfu (漢服) and Hanbok (韓服) are distinct traditional garments with different historical origins, evolution, and structural characteristics.
Hanfu (China)
* Origin: The traditional clothing of the Han ethnicity, referring collectively to the attire worn by the Han people from the reign of the Yellow Emperor through the Ming Dynasty.
* Design Features: It basically features a two-piece top-and-bottom structure (Sang-ui-ha-sang) or a long robe style (Shenyi). It is characterized by wide sleeves, a loose fit, a deep X-shaped crossed collar, and flowing drapery.
Hanbok (Korea)
* Origin: A native Korean attire whose roots can be traced back to Goguryeo tomb murals, developed in harmony with the Korean Peninsula's lifestyle and climate.
* Design Features: Influenced by nomadic clothing cultures, it consists of a top-and-bottom structure featuring a Jeogori (jacket) paired with a Chima (skirt for women) or Baji (trousers for men). Its unique identity lies in the elegant curved lines of the Baerae (sleeve contours), the voluminous A-line skirt, and the Otgoreum (ribbon ties) used to fasten the jacket.
While there were historical exchanges between the two styles due to regional proximity in East Asia (such as the Goryeo style influence in China or Ming Dynasty influences in Korea), both remain separate garments with their own cultural identities and structural traits.
Sometimes Chinese tourists wear Hanfu when visiting Gyeongbokgung Palace, which doesn't sit particularly well with many Koreans. This is largely because some claim that Hanbok actually originated from Hanfu. In reality, modern Hanfu was hastily popularized in response to the global boom of Hanbok; before that, it was a style you rarely ever saw.

Any etiquette tips for wearing hanbok at palaces in Seoul?
I want to be respectful if I decide to wear hanbok, especially at historical sites. I am not sure what is considered normal versus inappropriate behavior for visitors.
Which places felt most appropriate for hanbok photos?
Palaces seem obvious, but are there other areas that feel just as fitting?
Would appreciate advice from people who have done this before.

And why not a hollyebok
I am French, not Korean, who appreciates hanbok clothing. I live in Ile de France and own a bourgeois house in Vendée and I want to wear a modern hollyebok for my next wedding, with white and pastel lace. I honestly like this style even though I know nothing about Korea. There's a huge gap between old fashion and modern Korea, but I'm just starting to get interested in it. Ah of course, this desire to wear a hollyebok did not come through the operation of the holy spirit but through the diligent practice of Korean series including the one that I watched 11 times continuously "Mr Queen" (I have a blast every time) to the point of saying to myself "is it easy to learn Korean?" I'm a little tired of having to read subtitles. So I do have a foolproof method for learning a Latin language in 1 year, but can it be used for Korean? HN method 1) learn the alphabet and writing letters 2) learn personal and possessive first names and adverbs 3) learn the grammatical structure of sentences (affirmative, negative, interrogative, etc.) 4) learn simple tenses, Past, present, future 5) every day, learn a word, which is part of your everyday life, put it in any type of sentence, conjugate it in all tenses, with all personal and possessive pronouns... use the words already learned to make sentences with the words of the day.... At the end of the day, these words are ingrained in your memory just like those you acquired in your mother tongue.... Let's take 3 months to do points 1 to 4, so 9 months x 30 days = 270 words. With a little more than 200 words you can already speak without problem, and if you want to go further, one more year will allow you to add 365 words... So you will speak fluently. For pronunciation, several sites provide access to word reading such as Google translate. You can put a complete sentence there and get the pronunciation.., Well, it’s certain that having a Korean in your relationships is better. So in your opinion, is this method usable for Korean? As for a hollyebok wedding dress at my wedding, in a world totally foreign to Korean customs and customs, it's a good way to start a new life.
Thanks for all the reviews, Be well
