About About the place

Seohwa Hanbok is a rental shop specializing in traditional Korean hanbok, conveniently located adjacent to Gyeongbokgung Palace. Guests can select from a variety of hanbok styles and accessories to wear while exploring the palace grounds (free admission with hanbok) or taking photos. The shop is known for its proximity to the palace, but experiences often mention significant crowding and limitations in selection, particularly during peak hours. Service quality is frequently cited as inconsistent, with some visitors reporting difficulty finding assistance. Hair styling is limited to braiding, and makeup application is self-service. While the experience can be enjoyable, visitors should be prepared for a potentially busy and somewhat impersonal environment.

We were so excited to visit this place but were thoroughly disappointed while reaching and looking at the mismanaged affair. The place was crowded with tourists and there was no system to arrange them. The staff was also very rude.

Our stay here has been horrible and simply pathetic. It was the worst and the people here were so bad and disgusting. They were so rude and not at all helpful. The service was bullshit and the maintenance of the place was really really bad. I am never visiting this place again.
