Booking through Klook was convenient and easy. It was nice to have the KTX train tickets/seat reservations secured ahead of time. Price was fair even with the combo options. Would definitely use Klook again.

Affordable! It's really worthwhile to rent for a whole day! It's still in time to walk to Daereungwon, Gyochon, Woljeonggyo Bridge and back all day (we left the store at 12 o'clock and returned to the store at 18:30, and every place is super good to take pictures). The style of hanbok is very satisfying! There are hanboks of various sizes. If you are a girl over 168cm tall, there are fewer styles to choose from, such as the gradient long skirts on the website, but there are still many! It's enough for us to choose. There are about 20~30 modern hanboks for those over 168cm tall, and there are also traditional hanboks. Choose a long skirt on site first, then match your top, and the staff will help you put it on. You may need to take off your top to dress. The clothes you change can be locked in the store's cabinet. We stayed in the store for almost an hour and a half to choose and wear them because it was difficult to choose directly www, and each one looked good. The store will help with hair, and there are three hair styles to choose from, which is very fast. You can also choose a bag, you can put your phone and wallet in it to take pictures and feel safe~ Finally, a warm reminder, please remember to bring an umbrella, because we will be dark when we go back. The store will ask us to send the photos to them through the line method for them to be developed. We need to send them one hour before returning to the store, otherwise they will not have time to develop them.

This time I came to Gyeongju, South Korea for a trip, and specially arranged a trip to experience Hanbok. Because it was Sunday and I was worried that there would be a lot of people, I arrived at the Hanbok store on time at 09:50 in the morning, and checked in as soon as 10:00 arrived. I was the first customer to complete the selection and styling of the day. There were fewer styles of clothes for people under 160cm, but there were enough to choose from. The quality was good and the texture was good, and it looked very new. It only took me about 30 minutes from choosing clothes to putting on my hair and accessories. Of course, it is only limited to people who can choose clothes quickly, except for those who have difficulty in choosing 😂 The staff in the store are very efficient and the service is super professional!

It was a half-day tour, but we were able to visit all the places we wanted to visit efficiently from the morning, so it was very fulfilling! The guide was friendly and explained things carefully. It had rained the day before, but it was sunny on the day, which was great.
