The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism (Minister Choi Hwi-young) announced that it will hold a campaign to spread hanbok culture at the Jeongdong 1928 Art Center (Jung-gu, Seoul) from the 6th to the 8th to mark the Lunar New Year in 2026 with the Korea Craft and Design Culture Promotion Agency. This campaign is designed to reflect on the value of hanbok, our own clothing, and to promote the culture of enjoying hanbok in everyday life on the occasion of the Lunar New Year, the nation's biggest holiday.

During the event, various events will be held on the first floor of the 1928 Art Center in Jeong-dong, where you can experience the joy of "preparing a snow beam." The representative event, "Hanbokui (衣) Hall," presents hanboks to participants who have completed simple tasks (missions) and provides opportunities to prepare Lunar New Year hanboks through play. The mission consisted of things that anyone could easily participate in, such as following Instagram, writing wishful lucky bags, posting social media (SNS), and pulling out bad luck charm.

The "Hanbok Dundang" will offer classes to repair Hanbok, which was sleeping in the closet, and experience the production of traditional props such as pollack, scented bags, and cheekbones. You can reflect on the meaning of hanbok and traditional props and learn the value of sustainable traditional culture. At the same time, it modernizes the community meaning and the value of sharing of the Lunar New Year holiday with a participatory exhibition, "Wishful Lucky Bag," which is completed by writing down each wish in a huge lucky bag sculpture in the New Year.

On one side of the venue, the winning works of the "Hanbok Photo and Story Contest" held for the entire nation will also be displayed. You can check out vivid photos and touching stories of how hanbok is positioned in our lives, such as memories of holidays and wearing hanbok in our daily lives. At 3 p.m. on the 6th, the "Hanbok People's New Year's Party" will be held on the second floor of the venue to share words of blessing and warmth with hanbok people and pray for the spread of hanbok culture and a new leap forward in 2026. The first vice minister of Youngsoo Kim of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism visits the New Year's party to encourage hanbok people and participate in the spread of hanbok culture.

More detailed information on this event and how to participate in the event can be found on the official website of the Hanbok Promotion Center.

Vice Minister Youngsoo Kim said, "New Year's Day is a holiday that contains a precious tradition of wishing for a year's blessings by wearing carefully constructed equipment," adding, "We hope that the people will discover new values of hanbok and reflect on the depth of our hanbok culture and the true meaning of the Lunar New Year in their respective places through this campaign."
