Gyeongbokgung Hanbok PhotoShoot - January 2026

Best price guaranteed

My experience doing my first solo Hanbok photoshoot at the Gyeongbokgung Palace was really enjoyable. The ladies at the local tour comapny were helpful and nice, and didnt rush me. Photographer Mr Ethan Minwook Kim was pleasant, friendly and did a really good job at making me feel at ease even though I was initially very nervous to do the shoot. He took many excellent shots which I really like and will definitely keep as good memories of my trip. He captured the essence of the Palace in Autumn weather beautifully. I would definitely do this again and have already recommended this service to my friends. Thanks!
