On this trip to Gyeongju World, I originally planned just a relaxed day of fun, but the thing I ended up looking forward to most was actually the sentimental school uniform rental I had booked in advance on Creatrip.
Whenever I watched K-dramas before, I always felt Korean school uniforms had a really distinctive style, whether it was the blazer, the pleated skirt, or the bow tie, everything just gives off that youthful vibe. Since I was finally in Korea this time, of course I wanted to experience for myself what it feels like to wear a Korean school uniform.
After actually trying it, I realized it is not just changing clothes to take photos, it genuinely adds a lot more fun to the whole trip.
After arriving at the shop, the first thing that caught my eye was the interior.
The entrance is designed to feel really cozy, with a uniform display area and cute decorations, and the whole place is clean and bright.
Even though it is a rental shop, it feels more like a well-curated photo studio.
The moment you step inside, you can immediately feel that strong Korean campus vibe.
Quite a few visitors take photos here first, even before changing into their uniforms, you already start getting excited for what is next.
The shop is actually pretty easy to find.
The exterior is very noticeable, and the sign is clear too.
This time I just followed my map, and got there without spending much time.
Since many travelers heading to Gyeongju World also plan a school uniform experience, the staff are very familiar with international visitors.
After a quick explanation of the process, you can start choosing your favorite uniform style.
Everything runs really smoothly, so even if it is your first time, there is no need to worry.
The hardest part for me was deciding what to wear.
There are even more uniform styles on site than I expected.
Not only are there classic Korean high school uniforms, there are also pleated skirts in different colors, blazers, knit vests, and all kinds of accessories.
Each section is kept very neat and organized.
Seeing rows and rows of uniforms on the racks, you instantly get choice paralysis.
Especially for women, there are so many skirt colors and patterns, and every one of them looks great.
I went back and forth several times before finally deciding on my outfit.
Before changing, you can store your belongings in a locker.
It is seriously convenient if you are spending the whole day at the theme park.
After all, if you are wearing a uniform and taking photos everywhere, carrying big bags will affect how the photos turn out.
The storage area is planned well, and there are clear instructions.
Once your luggage is put away, you can change comfortably and get ready to head out.
This setup makes the whole experience feel more complete.
Beyond the changing area, the entire space is kept very clean.
The aisles are wide and the layout is easy to follow.
Even though there were quite a few visitors that day, it did not feel crowded.
The staff are quick at organizing the clothes, and if something does not fit after you try it on, they can help you switch sizes.
It is very user-friendly for anyone who is not sure about sizing.
I think this is also one of the reasons so many visitors recommend it.
After changing into the uniform, it was time to head to Gyeongju World.
That day, I chose a dark jacket paired with a plaid pleated skirt.
I was worried it might not suit me, but it unexpectedly gave me total K-drama female lead vibes.
Once inside the park, I noticed a lot of young Koreans were also wearing uniforms and taking photos.
The whole park instantly turned into one huge campus photo shoot.
Photos look especially good in front of the rides.
With the roller coaster in the background and the uniform look, it feels like a scene from a Korean youth movie.
I do not usually wear this kind of outfit, but that day I completely fit right into the atmosphere.
I also took lots of photos that I really loved along the way.
My honest thoughts after trying it
This sentimental school uniform experience was honestly one of the most fun parts of my Gyeongju trip.
I thought it would just be taking a few pictures, but wearing the uniform and spending the whole day playing in the theme park felt totally different.
It is not just that your look changes, even your mood becomes more relaxed and cheerful.
Seeing myself in the mirror wearing a uniform, it felt like I was back in my student days.
Even though it has been a long time since I was in school, that youthful feeling was unexpectedly brought back.
And Korean uniform designs really are beautiful, they are perfect for both photos and walking around the park.
If it were just regular clothes, I might take a few photos and be done.
But once you put on a school uniform, every corner makes you want to stop and take pictures to remember it.
It is absolutely worth it for anyone who loves taking photos.
If I have friends visiting Gyeongju World in the future, I will definitely recommend renting a school uniform before entering the park.
Not only will you get more distinctive photos, it also adds a stronger sense of occasion to the entire trip.
Sometimes the most valuable part of traveling is not how many places you went, but what kind of memories you made.
And the time I spent walking around Gyeongju World in a Korean school uniform, taking photos, and going on rides, is without a doubt one of the most unforgettable pages of my trip to Korea.
