The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Korea Craft & Design Foundation will hold an awards ceremony for contributors to the promotion of Hanbok culture on the 25th at Platform L in Nonhyeon-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul. The event encourages individuals and organizations who have contributed to the promotion of Hanbok culture and reviews the achievements of related policies from the past year. Park, who receives this year's Hanbok Person of the Year Award, led the popularization of Hanbok by providing Hanbok costumes for last year's popular variety show 'Hangout with Yoo.' She also designed the uniforms for the National Gugak Center's creative orchestra.
The 'Hanbok Culture Merit Award' goes to Lee Sang-eun, Honorary Professor at Konkuk University, who has contributed to nurturing Hanbok students for over 30 years. She received high praise for establishing and operating the World Traditional Costume Culture Research Institute in 2009. The newly established 'Rookie Hanbok Person Award' this year is awarded to Lee Seung-joo, CEO of Dasigom. Last year, he promoted Hanbok in collaboration with local governments in Seoul, Busan, Jeonju, Andong, Mokpo, and Gangneung, and produced traditional garments that are recyclable. The Hanbok Federation, Professor Lee Jin-hee of Korea National University of Arts, and Jung Mi-ok, team leader of the Culture and Arts Department at Namwon City Hall, also receive commendations from the Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism for their contributions to the promotion of Hanbok culture.
