Attire Bride Bridegroom Chosen Korea Korean
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of traditional Korean culture in the early 20th century, as a bride and bridegroom proudly display their elegant attire. The image, titled "South Korea - Chosen - Bride and Bridegroom," is believed to have been taken in the 1920s. The bride is dressed in a beautiful hanbok, the traditional Korean attire consisting of a jeogori (short jacket) and changpo (skirt). The jeogori is adorned with intricate designs and vibrant colors, reflecting the bride's status and the importance of the occasion. Her long, flowing hair is styled in a traditional chignon, and her face is delicately painted with the pansum makeup, a traditional Korean beauty practice. The groom, equally resplendent, wears a hanbok consisting of a jeogori and baji (pants). His hair is neatly combed back, and he wears a traditional hat, the gat, on his head. The couple's traditional attire, with its rich colors and intricate designs, serves as a reminder of the deep-rooted history and cultural heritage of South Korea. The photograph, which is believed to have been taken in the Chosun Dynasty period, offers a glimpse into the past and provides a window into the traditional customs and practices of Korean weddings during that era. The image is a testament to the beauty and grace of Korean culture and serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving and celebrating cultural traditions.
