Hanbok School Uniform Displayed at the Victoria and Albert Museum in the UK
On the 16th, presented to Chief Exhibition Planner Rozali Kim along with a donation certificate
Our traditional clothing, Hanbok, will be exhibited at the Victoria and Albert Museum in the UK, the world's largest decorative arts museum. On the afternoon of the 16th, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Hanbok Promotion Center will present Hanbok school uniforms and donation certificates to Rosalie Kim, the chief exhibition planner. The boys' uniforms consist of a straight-collar over-jacket and modified sapok pants, while the girls' uniforms are modernized versions of Hanbok with a danryeong over-jacket dress based on the traditional hanbok neoridari (one-piece dress). Since 2019, the Ministry and the Hanbok Promotion Center have been developing and distributing Hanbok school uniforms.

The Hanbok school uniforms will be featured alongside Hanbok worn by K-pop stars and traditional Hanbok in a special exhibition titled "Hallyu! The Korean Wave," which the Victoria and Albert Museum will hold in September next year. Lee Jin-sik, Director of Cultural Policy at the Ministry, said, "This is the result of the global Hallyu craze spreading the beauty of Hanbok overseas," adding, "We will cooperate with the museum to showcase various types of Hanbok." Hanbok has gained attention as stage costumes worn by K-pop stars such as BTS and BLACKPINK. In September, the Korean word "hanbok" was even included in the Oxford English Dictionary in the UK.
