Occasion
Family lunches outdoors at the cousin's house. Outdoor festival days where the food is held at long tables and the children run between them. The hanbok a child can run in without anyone hovering over the cloth.

Sopung, picnic, is the Korean word for the outing schoolchildren take in spring, a day of food eaten outdoors and games played on the grass. The word carries a specific register of casualness, structured but easy. A hanbok built around sopung has to hold the form without the formality.
The Sopung relaxes the chima for movement. The cotton blend was chosen for breath. The closure runs as a hidden snap under the goreum bow, so the bow stays tied through running and the child does not have to be reminded to hold still. The hem is finished for play. The piece looks like the formal hanbok and acts like a play dress.
