As even idols like PRISTIN have been seen wearing them for holiday celebrations.

From short tennis skirts to skirts that end just below the knee, this new twist on hanboks comes in a variety of looks.

While some fashion-forward Koreans are praising the trend for perfectly infusing the new with the old…

More traditional Koreans are worried that the new trend ignores and abandons the traditional values of the celebratory clothes.

Either way, the modern hanboks are definitely a refreshing twist on Korean fashion!
