April 22, 2010 – Gyeongju, Korea

When we went Shilla Millenieum Park, the shooting venue of the drama series Queen Seon Deok, we wore the traditional dress of Korea — the hanbok. The above photo is the Jeogori, the basic upper garment that covers the arms and upper part of the wearer’s body. This one has shoulder pads and is only one of the many designs of hanbok. Koreans has introduced number of designs that combine traditional beauty and modern simplicity.

I believe I wore Princess Cheon Myeong’s pink and blue hanbok, with an embroidered patterns on black belt above my waist and some gold ornaments hanging from it.
