Duration: 01:30 hours


Description

Wear the premium Hanbok once worn by K-pop stars in a 19th-century Hanok, create your own Korean name, and connect with locals. Guided by a cultural host, you’ll discover authentic Seoul traditions.
Discover a side of Seoul that blends timeless tradition with modern identity. In the heart of Seochon, step into Sangchonjae, a 19th-century Hanok where every wooden beam and courtyard whispers of Korea’s past. Here, you’ll take part in a one-of-a-kind cultural journey that goes beyond sightseeing.

Begin by wearing a luxury Hanbok—choose from the same stylish designs adored by K-pop idols such as BTS and NewJeans, or slip into ceremonial Hanbok valued at thousands of dollars and usually reserved for weddings and special rites. As you move through the Hanok, you’ll feel both elegant and deeply connected to Korean heritage.

The highlight of the experience is creating your very own Ho (號), a traditional Korean adult name. Guided by local experts, you’ll reflect on your personality and values, then bring your name to life through brush and ink on a scroll you can keep as a meaningful souvenir.

To complete the moment, enjoy professional photography in your Hanbok, capturing memories that feel straight out of a Korean drama. Share laughter, stories, and light refreshments with locals and fellow travelers, making friendships that last long after the day ends.

“This is My Ho” is more than an activity—it’s a cultural rite of passage where you step into tradition, express your identity, and leave with a new piece of Korea to carry with you forever.
