Classy Ha Ji Won Named Ambassador for the Traditional Korean Hanbok

This is as suitable a selection as any, short of landing Korea’s biggest traditional beauty export Lee Young Ae for the gig. The as pretty in modern or traditional attire A-list actress Ha Ji Won was just named ambassador for the hanbok, the ambassador thingie is really becoming a thing she wears well since she was also named ambassador for the tax collection agency after she was lauded for always dutifully paying her taxes. Other than in sageuk drama Hwang Jin Yi, I don’t associate Ha Ji Won with the period look since she skews more modern for me in the roles that I like seeing her do. With that said, her looks are a lovely fusion of what is considered traditionally beautiful mixed with the modern preference for sleekness, so when she wears the hanbok there is a freshness about the whole look. This particular hanbok is one of the newer fusion styles and looks so lovely on her, and vice-versa as she doesn’t let the volume overwhelm her.

  • Haha, 6inches heels in Hanbook. I know she's a really good actress and all, but she's not that pretty and beautiful for a Korean actress, real talk! just saying, imo.

    • I would take her anytime of the day! I think her beauty is exotic, natural, badass, sexy with the combination of her aegyo. Yup, beauty is very subjective. No plastic dolls for me. Just saying.

    • HJW may not be pretty in other peoples eyes, but I think her beauty is very versatile-- her looks and beauty stands out in every outfit she wears. I've seen a k-actress wear a hanbok and her features (though pretty in simple wear) is taken over by her headress! But look at all HJW photos wearing hanbok she stands out beautifully!

  • wow...i didn't know that there are so many HJW haters.i mean, i didn't get anything wrong with her looks and hanbok.

    • Actually this Hanbok she's wearing, not feeling that much. However, the Hanboks she wore in Hwang Jin Yi I love them!

  • To each their own. I personally think HJW is very gorgeous and classy! I agreed with Koala that she looks great in both modern and traditional clothes!
