Description
[Choose Your Preferred Option]
This activity is available with two booking options:
1. Photoshoot Only – Hanbok Not Included
Choose this option if you already own a hanbok or plan to arrange your rental independently. You must arrive at the meeting point already dressed in hanbok. A rental shop recommendation is available upon request, but customers are free to choose any rental shop.
2. Hanbok Rental and Photoshoot
This option includes both hanbok rental and the private photoshoot. The included rental service and all mandatory costs are covered by the price displayed for this option. Please check the option details carefully before booking.
No additional mandatory payment is required after booking for either option.
