During the talkshow, Mr. Jung Ki Beom shared fascinating stories about Hanbok. According to him, Hanbok is not merely a traditional costume, but a distinctive symbol of Korean culture. With its refined beauty and colors carrying profound meanings, each Hanbok represents not only the spirit and personality of the wearer but also reflects the theory of Yin-Yang and the Five Elements in East Asian culture. The harmony of the five basic colors creates an artistic beauty, telling stories about the lasting traditional values of the Korean people.

The speakers presented meaningful information tied to the culture represented in each costume 

Following that, the Hanbok Fashion Show brought a colorful and emotional atmosphere. The harmonious designs, blending traditional and modern elements, were showcased by UEFers and special guests.
