They will present measures to spread the cultural value of wearing hanbok in Korea and ways to link adjacent fields to revitalize the hanbok industry ecosystem, respectively.
In the subsequent discussion, participants will deliberate on how to inherit hanbok culture in a way that suits the present day and how to develop it industrially. Panelists include Kim Yongsik, CEO of Hanbok Day, Ji Suhyun, professor at Wonkwang Digital University, Seo Junghwa, CEO of Seo Junghwa Han, and Park Insuk, CEO of Korea Costume Gold Thread.
