Hanbok is traditional Korean clothing that gets its distinct style from a combination of straight lines and graceful curves. The elegant woman's outfit consists of a short blouse and long skirt, while men wore a short loose shirt-jacket, a vest or second jacket and loose trousers tied at the ankle.
Koreans used to favor the color white for their clothing. However, according to the season or a person's status in society, the color, material and manner of wearing the clothes varied.

For special ceremonies such as weddings, commoners could wear colorful clothing and ornaments, otherwise reserved for the upper class and royalty.
In modern times, especially in the urban areas, the hanbok has been wore mainly for holidays and family celebrations.
Recently, however, new styles of hanbok have been created that better suit modern urban life and are more practical and comfortable for everyday wear.

One day, I saw his painting in my friend's house. Even though his painting was not brilliant, I was attracted by it.I think that he effectively represents normal people's life by using simple colors. Most of his painting's objests' are about normal people's life. That is why his painting might be brilliant.I just guess...

He lived in 1914-1965.He was too poor to go to a school. He was once a habor work and drew portraits for living.

We already have that kind ofa law in Korea. Koreans had prefered a male baby because of traditional mind.So, before making the law, male babies' portion is much higher than female in Korean population.
