## 1. Why I chose “YES Hanbok”, and the 4 best things I loved after trying it
Here’s why I picked “YES Hanbok” from all the shops around Gyeongbokgung Palace, plus the moments that made me think, “I’m so glad I chose this place!” after actually experiencing it.
### ① Spacious shop, easy outfit selection, and the staff helps you choose, too
Some hanbok rental shops are cramped and crowded, making it hard to take your time choosing. But YES Hanbok was **a big, easy-to-browse single floor**!
The outfits were organized by rank and size, so I was able to find my favorite look without any stress.
### ② An incredible selection of 1,000+ outfits (lots of trendy designs)
From classic traditional styles to trendy pastel colors and even “premium hanbok” with sparkling embroidery, they have an amazing **selection of over 1,000 outfits**.
I chose the lowest-priced hanbok tier, but there were so many skirts (chima) with cute embroidery. Getting this level at that price made me so happy, and it’s also easy to create matching looks with friends or as a couple by coordinating colors!
### ③ Kind staff and free hairstyling
I was worried like, “Will it be okay if I can’t speak Korean?”, but there were **staff who could speak Japanese**, and they kindly helped me change.
On top of that, the hairstyling (braids, ponytails, etc.) was quick and skillful, they made everything look cute in no time, and I was genuinely satisfied!

### ④ An unbeatable location, “1 minute on foot” to Gyeongbokgung Palace
Once you’re changed, you can walk straight to the entrance of Gyeongbokgung Palace in no time.
Even with unfamiliar traditional socks and a skirt that’s harder to walk in, you won’t get tired from traveling between places. Being able to use your time to the fullest for sightseeing and photos was a huge plus!

## 2. If you’re going to YES Hanbok, booking through “Creatrip” is absolutely the best deal!
You can walk in to YES Hanbok on the day, but I definitely recommend **booking in advance through “Creatrip”** (I booked through Creatrip too!).

## 3. [Advice from real experience] 3 tips to enjoy YES Hanbok to the fullest
Here are real, practical points I learned from trying YES Hanbok myself, so you won’t make mistakes on the day.
* **Screenshot the look you want from SNS beforehand**
There are so many gorgeous hanbok at the shop that you will definitely hesitate once you’re there! (lol) Since YES Hanbok limits the number of try-ons, it helps to save color ideas on your phone beforehand, like “I want pink tones” or “I want a mature navy look”, so it’s easier to communicate with the staff and choose smoothly.
* **For innerwear, a “white or beige V-neck” is best**
Many jeogori (the upper garment) colors are light, so your underwear can show through. Also, if your innerwear shows at the neckline, it really takes away from the photos, so I strongly recommend wearing a white or beige inner layer with a wide V-neck.
* **Gyeongbokgung Palace becomes “free admission”!**
If you change fully into your outfit at YES Hanbok and go to Gyeongbokgung Palace, the usual 3,000 won admission fee becomes **free for everyone**. You can enter without lining up at the ticket booth, so it feels like an amazing deal!
