Couple Hanbok Rental at Gyeongbokgung: Colors and Photo Planning

If you want to take couple Hanbok photos at Gyeongbokgung Palace, first compare the color combinations for the two of you and the differences between rental and professional photography. We also provide guidance on basic hairstyles, additional props, and return routes.

Couple Hanbok Rental at Gyeongbokgung: Colors and Photo Planning

If you want to take photos at Gyeongbokgung Palace wearing Hanbok together, you don't need to choose exactly the same colors. One person could choose a bright color and the other a subdued one, or try matching just one accent color. Deciding first whether you will take the photos yourself after renting the Hanbok or book a professional shoot will make it easier to plan your budget and arrival time.

Basic Hair Styling and Optional Accessories

From Shop Arrival to Return

  • Prepare your mobile voucher and a valid passport or ID to visit the reserved store.
  • We recommend selecting your outfit within 30 minutes of arrival, so please discuss color combinations in advance.
  • After changing clothes, hair, and storing personal belongings, start a leisurely walk.
  • Please adhere to the usage time of the reservation option and also check the 18:30 return deadline for the experience product.

The last entry time for the experience product is 17:00. Please note that the return deadline may differ from the end of the rental period, so do not assume that you can use it for a long time simply because you rent it in the late afternoon. For late arrivals, an additional fee of 1,000 won per person for traditional Hanbok and 2,000 won per person for theme Hanbok will be charged for every 10 minutes.

Allow More Time for Professional Photography

For the photo shoot package, a minimum of two people must be booked, and you must arrive at the store one hour prior to the shoot. Please check the conditions for premium Hanbok inclusion for each package. As 300–500 original photos and 2 retouched photos are delivered via email within 15–30 days, please do not assume they will be available for same-day pickup. Please check the conditions for changes in case of rain at least two days in advance, and follow the instructions for schedule change inquiries at least three days prior.

Plan at a Pace That Suits Both of You

Rather than aiming for a wide travel course, it is recommended to select a photo section close to your reservation location and return time. Please check the official announcements for your visit date regarding the palace's operation and availability for viewing. Just because the store is open does not mean the palace is open. Compare the usage dates and group sizes between the experience packages for self-photography and the photography packages for professional shooting.

Final Checks Before Booking

  • Check options and availability to match travel dates and actual number of users
  • Check included items, extra charges, and pickup/return schedules
  • The actual product assigned may differ from the model or outfit in the photo.
