Even during the night viewing season from September to October, which is usually completely booked, you can enter the palace for free with a Hanbok on! Get discounted hanbok rentals right here on Creatrip and enter the palaces for free!
With Creatrip, you can get your hair styled for free at certain rental shops. If you want to take proper photos at Gyeongbokgung Palace, be sure to reserve from a Hanbok rental shop that is fully prepared! The rental shops available on our site are all very popular and well-known for having beautiful and up-to-date Hanbok designs. Click the links below to book your Hanbok rental!

Another useful tip we'd like to share is that knowing your personal color when choosing a Hanbok will be very helpful as you will know what colors suit you best!
Did you know that even your hair color is affected by your personal color? Getting your personal color analyzed will also help if you want to change your hair color.
Through a personal color analysis, you can try changing your makeup and clothes to match your best tones and see a definite change in your style. Once you adjust your makeup and styling to suit your own tone, you can capture a satisfying and unique profile picture!
We recommend going shopping at Olive Young after receiving a personal color analysis to purchase makeup products that are suitable for your color palette! Check out these popular spots for personal color analysis with English consultation in the links below.
