[Lily's Take] Shin Se-kyung shows off her beauty in a traditional Korean hanbok

A few days ago, South Korea celebrated the National Hanbok Day (celebrating traditional Korean clothing) with the "2017 Gyeongbokgung Moonlight Hanbok Fashion Show" at the Gyeongbok Palace.

Among the several models that walked down the runway in beautiful hanbok, actress Shin Se-kyung was the most eye-catching out of them all. I've been assuming that she will be looking stellar in Hanbok as she is known for her traditionally Korean beauty, but actually to witness that beauty was even better.

She reminds me of an orchid flower in Hanbok, reserved and calm, radiating elegance. The orchid is quite mesmerizing; it looks fragile, yet strong. And that is the impression Shin Se-kyung gives me as well.

Even her shadow is perfect; it's like a painting.

Along with the hanbok, the specific traditional hair-do is difficult to manage to pull-off without looking tacky, yet Shin Se-kyung looks so graceful wearing it. Her head is shaped perfectly for this hair-do.

It's her beauty and her aura. There aren't many actresses who can look this good in traditional clothing and Shin Se-kyung is one of the few people who just naturally fit into this style.

I don't know who suggested Shin Se-kyung to be on this fashion show, but we need to find that person and give him or her an award.

Yes, Shin Se-kyung! Please do another historical drama where we can see you in hanbok all the time!
