Anyway, I went on a family trip to Seoul, and my cousin and I decided to go to a hanbok cafe. For those of you who do not know what a hanbok is, it's basically a traditional Korean dress. I was so new to the concept of hanboks, it was just so much fun. They first give you the menu so you can choose whichever package you want to do, don't worry, they can speak English! They then get you into their undergarments, which is a petticoat under all the colourful garments, and then do your make up. I had a layer of lashes on my eyes, and trust me, you can tell. After doing your make up, you can choose the garment you want, and they will help dress you. The last thing they do is work on your hair, and then you're allowed to go around the cafe and take selfies before the photographer gets ready to take your shots. They provide props and accessories depending on what went well with your costume.
My cousin and I felt like such tourists, but we didn't really care, we had so much fun messing around the cafe! It's worth trying out, especially if it's your first time going to Korea, I definitely would recommend it to anyone!
Here's a little sneak peek of what we did:
