Korean Wedding Traditions: 3 Parts, Cash Gifts and Pyebaek
Korean wedding traditions now come down to 3 parts: a short hall ceremony, a buffet and the pyebaek bow. Guests hand in a cash envelope at a desk, watch a ceremony that’s usually over well within an hour, eat and go home. Meanwhile the couple changes into hanbok (한복, traditional Korean dress) for a private family ritual that dates back to the Joseon dynasty.
