WASHINGTON, D.C. (May 29, 2026) – Korea Hanbok Promotion Institute (KHPI) will be guests at Otakon 2026, according to Otakorp Inc. KHPI is the first public cultural facility dedicated to hanbok, or the traditional attire of the Korean people.
Opened in April 2021 at Sangju, a city known for silk and cotton production, Korea Hanbok Promotion Institute focuses on the succession and preservation of traditional hanbok, as well as education about the culture.
Their most recent works include multiple projects for the 2025 APEC Summit (including developing special hanbok, hosting a fashion show, and creating a hanbok uniform for volunteers ) and Woori Ot 100 Seon, a project in which they selected 100 different hanbok styles representing Korea to showcase designs based on historical artwork ranging from Goguryeo murals to late Joseon period pieces.
