What is traditional korean socks?

Traditional Korean socks are known as 'beoseon' or 'jorim' in Korean. They are typically worn with hanbok, a traditional Korean dress, and are made from cotton, silk or linen. Beoseon are ankle-high and have a separated big toe that fits into 'gaksi', a kind of fabric pouch. The fabric pouch can be used to hold small items like money or medicine.

Beoseon often come in a variety of colors and patterns, with each design having a different meaning. For example, socks with crane patterns represent peace and longevity, while socks with peony patterns symbolize wealth and honor.

In addition to their cultural significance, beoseon are also practical as they have a non-slip grip on the sole, allowing people to walk on smooth floors without slipping. Nowadays, beoseon are still worn on special occasions like weddings, traditional festivals, and cultural events.
