Supplemental context
Hanbok encompasses a varied clothing tradition rather than one fixed costume. Korea.net explains the basic relationship between the jeogori upper garment and lower garments such as chima skirts and baji trousers, while also discussing outerwear, accessories and modern design adaptation. The selection can help future readers notice silhouette, proportion and the way fabric moves around a body. It also connects special occasions with experiments in everyday dress. Preserving the names of garment components is useful, but so is preserving the fact that makers and wearers continue to reinterpret them; living dress traditions are not frozen museum categories.
Creator/community: Korean garment makers, designers and wearers Place/era: Korea and diaspora; historical dress and contemporary reinterpretation
Context and limits
The original's ancient label is not a date for every silhouette. This supplement does not adopt the source article's sweeping unchanged-for-millennia narrative or its inconsistent early chronology. The card is a contemporary hanbok-inspired invention, not royal clothing, a named designer's work or a universal representation of Korean identity.
