Famous Actress Gains Attention For Wearing A Korean Traditional Hanbok At An Event Overseas

A famous Korean actress garnered attention by appearing in a Korean traditional outfit and representing Korea at a film festival in Canada.

Actress Yum Jung Ah attended the 48th Toronto International Film Festival held in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, on September 13. She participated in various events such as the red carpet and screenings with the team of the film Smugglers.

What caught the attention of many on that day was Yum Jung Ah’s red-carpet fashion. She wore a graceful green hanbok and stood before the cameras. She drew attention for wearing fashion items that emphasized Korean traditional beauty, such as embroidered flowers on the hanbok jacket, a red norigae (a traditional ornament), and a jade ring. Yum Jung Ah also beautifully complemented her hanbok with an appropriate hairstyle.

Yum Jung Ah’s agency, Artist Company, posted her hanbok photos on their official social media account and expressed pride in their artist, saying Yum Jung Ah “introduced the beauty of Korea to the world with her green hanbok.”

Netizens on platforms like Twitter expressed admiration, leaving comments such as, “She’s truly representing Korea,” “It’s because it’s Yeom Jung Ah; who else could pull off the green hanbok!!!” and “She looks incredibly beautiful,” and more.
