On May 14, Han Ga In’s YouTube channel “Free Woman Han Ga In” uploaded a new video titled: “The Stunning Han Ga In Appears at Gyeongbokgung Wearing the Royal Hanbok She Couldn’t Wear in ‘The Moon Embracing the Sun’ — Foreigners React in Shock.”

At the beginning of the video, Han Ga In explained why she decided to revisit traditional palace fashion.

“Today, I came out wearing this traditional braided hanbok hairstyle because there were so many comments asking to see me in traditional hanbok,” she shared.

The actress also reflected on her iconic role in the hit MBC drama The Moon Embracing the Sun.

“Back then, my character lived as a shaman who couldn’t enter the palace, so I never really got to wear proper royal hanbok,” she explained. “I wanted to properly show the traditional beauty of hanbok this time.”

Her appearance quickly became the highlight of the shoot. Wearing a bright white-toned royal hanbok paired with a neatly styled traditional updo, Han Ga In drew immediate attention from both locals and international tourists visiting the palace.

Many viewers praised her timeless visuals, joking that “Gyeongbokgung froze for a moment” as people stopped to stare at her elegant appearance.

Toward the end of the video, Han Ga In’s graceful presence and youthful appearance especially became a hot topic online, with fans describing her as having “preservative-level beauty,” a Korean expression often used for celebrities who appear unchanged over the years.

The actress’ royal hanbok styling also sparked renewed appreciation for traditional Korean fashion and palace aesthetics among viewers worldwide.
