Master Sulnyeo Park has devoted her life to Hanbok.

Master Park has dedicated all of her strength for the popularization and globalization of Hanbok for the past 40 years.

Master Park reminds every person she meets and said, “I was tremendously inspired by global stars who put on and were impressed by Hanbok, including Britney Spears, Usher, Jason Mraz, Mika, George Winston, Amanda Seyfried, and Chloe Moretz.”

It is assumed that global starts dressing in Hanbok by Master Park made a substantial contribution to the globalization of Hanbok.

Saying that we have to pursue the globalization of Hanbok made the eyes of Master Park sparkled. Master Park pointed out, “letting people put on Hanbok for free at Gyeongbokgung Palace is insufficient to make them feel the true beauty of Hanbok. When we value and love Hanbok more than any other, the globalization of Hanbok can be truly completed.”

For widely promoting Hanbok in Korea and abroad, Master Park emphasized that the most urgent task is to increase the exposure of Hanbok in our daily life, not to mention progressive cooperation between the private sector and the government.

Hanbok is one of the representative cultures of Korea. Master Park strongly believes that it’s difficult to pile up culture step by step, but easy to tear it down. Master Park said that forming the environment, making the public feel more familiar with Hanbok, will show the majestic mood of Hanbok. Master Park said that the beauty of Hanbok she makes would start from the beauty of moderation, which can’t be fully embraced by straight lines and a full-flowing skirts. Master Park is willing to endure the pain for creation when making Hanbok saying, “I thoroughly endeavor to express the beautiful harmony of diverse colors and the elegance of unique lines.”
