Hanbok, the Korean traditional dress is worn during the holidays and although the practice is becoming obsolete in modern day Korea, it’s great seeing celebs embracing our culture to its fullest.
On sul-nal, Koreans typically eat ddok-guk, rice cake soup in the morning. Then families gather to bow to elders in return for allowance. This is the best time of the year for underaged kids, but once you reach the legal drinking age, it ain’t so fun anymore, for you are expected to cough up some dough for the youngins in your family.
Happy New Lunar Year!

Nice to see Junki & Andy wearing hanboks.
thanks for this post.
anyways…..
how come this past days i find popseoul boring…
any new ideas?…zzz
I love when culture is embraced
Another reason, why I wish I had a Korean aunt or Uncle. Allowance. Why is Lee Junki the only one wearing a decorative hanbok? It suits him.
lol andy looks so cute
and junki is so kakkoi
ah i am in the mood for holiday rite now…
omg andy and jun ki in hanboks just made my day. happy (early) new year to popseoul
the only one that attracts me was Lee Junki’s hanboks…
esp. the blue one.. kinda reminded me of a kimono..
joo.. looks a bit.. odd…
Andy looks so cute
joo looks like a man. yoobin and sun ye are the prettiest.
Wondergirls look great as always.
Koreans need to really work on promoting their country’s culture to the world! Korean food is so delicious, but it’s not as popular to the level it needs to be. I don’t know why the Korean government won’t promote their country and culture to the world. It would really benefit their country and boost their economy as well. My favorite beer is CASS. It’s so delicious.
I hope Korean-Americans, and other ethnic Koreans promote their culture in the country they reside in.
Hyundai, Kia, LG, Hankook Tires, Kumho, Samsung, LG, Daewoo, Cass, Hite, OB Beer, Ottogi, etc. are awesome korean companies.
LG should sponsor an arena or stadium in the U.S.A. It should be called the LG Center, like how there is the Staples Center in Los Angeles, etc. Koreans need to break out of their tight knit shell to promote their country’s culture. It will really help the country’s economy.
hanboks are pretty, i want to wear one.
although I am korean, i have to say that the hanbok for males can’t get any gayer…pink, puffy pants and lime green jogori…dang.
wonder girls look lovely.
wow…i like the hanbok…..even though i am not korean but rather vietnamese….but i really really like their hanbok…..Joo looks like a man and it looks like one of her eyes is smaller then the other….and Wonder Girls look really pretty with their hanbok…..HAPPY NEW YEARS >_<
Promote Korean food
What Korea needs to promote is their sex industry. Because from what I hear they have one of the biggest sex industries in the world. Over 500,000 korean women are in the industry.
wondergirls look great!…
…is it just me or does nam gyu ri look diffirent (compared to her xMan days)?
Testing, because I seemed to have been blocked from posting comments. =/
Okay, then it’s just the other thread about Joo, where I tried four times under different names and emails before I gave up because nothing was submitting at all. Is this some odd attempt at censorship, Popseoul? If that’s the case, it’s rather sad.
when the flower festival started in our place, every february, i was always amazed at how the Korean Community participated in the street parades and showed the people from all over the country how beautiful and rich hanboks are… i hope i could wear one in the future, hehe!
sae-hae bok mani ba-deu se-yo…

junki is so feminish, and its haWWt, lol, i love the dresses!
koreans need to promoote korean food. it’s still quite unknown compared to Japanese food and Chinese food. Koreans need to brand their country and let people all over the world know about korean food. When people know about korean food, it’s a good marketing strategy for their country.
Koreans also need to stop the extreme littering. all countries have littering problems, but in korea, it’s too extreme.
junki looks darling…. those dark blues really suit him!!
and
i was happy to finally see a dark background.
wonder girls looks sooo cute!!!
especially so hee…. even though she is older than me ^ ^
i only have one hanbok… and im growing out of it.
mum! buy me a new one!! ^ ^
OMG they all look so good!!
I love hanboks <3 They’re so pretty!
andies adorable wearing that..:]
i lyk everyone..
in hanbok, they look elegant..
I don’t like modern hanboks of the past couple centuries. I like the older ones where they don’t wear the short bolero type jackets. I like Korean costumes that have long jackets, belts, girdles and flowing skirts. they looked more like ancient chinese dresses.
