This is my personal review, together with my wife on 15th Feb 2026 (Sunday) for 'Themed' hanbok & '4 hours' pass type. We have decided to engage with their professional photographer as an additional services, but of course with an extra fees, which i feel it's more worthwhile & strongly recommended to all who wishes to do phototaking in hanbok attire. Our photograper, Mr Taekwon Kang is very spontaneous, he who knows all & what he's done for both of us as couple on how to act & pose in differently to all places & locations inside the Palace. And he loves to take our photos romantically & requested us to kiss in almost every photographs. I thought that was cheeky but in a very good positive way in which me & wife were smiling & laughing at times. Back to the Hanboknam shop, the staffs who served us had patiently helped us with sincerity & dedication although they were all very busy serving to all the customers. Therefore, I would like to say thank you very much for everything.

We enjoyed our experience at Daehan Hanbok even with the cold weather. The hanbok were beautiful and the staff were helpful with accessories and hairstyles. Just note that there are only a few cubicles for changing and styling, so the line can be long during busy hours. Overall, still a fun and memorable experience. 😊

My friends and I booked this Personal Color Analysis to be more informed with choosing clothes and makeup that best suit us. The place is really beautiful. Kate, who assisted us that day, was really helpful and patient with all our questions. She explained everything really well. She told us not only about our best clothing and makeup color but also our hair color, contact lenses, textiles, perfume, and accessories. This has been a really great experience!
