Nhan Dan Online – A show of traditional Korean Hanbok
costume will take place on July 16th in Hanoi
with 52 Korean beauties, who all took part in the Korean
Beauty Contest 2008, and the two Misses of Korea 2007.
The two Misses are among the three Misses of the Miss
Korea Contest, for the three prizes of the True, the Good
and the Beauty. The two are Miss Good, Park Ga Won, Miss
Beauty, Lee Ji Ah while the third one, Miss True is now in

The Korean beauties will bring to the stage 50 Tang-ui
costumes, which were being used as royal costumes under the
Chosun Dynasty, the wedding Hongwonsam costumes, the ritual
Jeok-ui costumes under the Chosun Dynasty, and the
Gongryongpo – the King’s everyday costume.

that are popular in Korea and have been shown on Vietnamese
TV.
The show will be complemented by a flute performance by
Kang Hyo Sun, with a new experimental style. The Korean
beauties will also show their talents in ballet dancing,

anniversary of the Vietnam – Korean diplomatic relations.
