Han Ga In Relives “The Moon Embracing The Sun” Days With Surprise Visit To The Palace

Actress Han Ga In is going viral after appearing at Gyeongbokgung Palace dressed in full royal hanbok, instantly reminding netizens of her legendary role in The Moon Embracing the Sun.

In a recent video uploaded to her YouTube channel, Han Ga In revealed she wanted to properly showcase the beauty of traditional Korean hanbok after receiving countless requests from viewers.

She especially referenced The Moon Embracing the Sun, explaining that her character in the hit drama was unable to wear elaborate palace hanbok due to her lower status as a shaman.

After changing into elegant royal court hanbok complete with traditional accessories, Han Ga In visited Gyeongbokgung Palace, where tourists reportedly could not stop staring.

Photos and clips from the outing quickly spread online, with many netizens joking that it felt like The Moon Embracing the Sun had become reality over a decade later.

• It’s basically Yeon Woo in the last episode, coming out as the Queen.
• Ah, I remember how she really suffered during MES. She wore thin clothing during winter filming.
• Her visuals are insane.
• I think she’ll look prettier with lighter makeup as she’s originally pretty.
• Wow.

Others were especially emotional seeing Han Ga In in royal hanbok again due to how iconic The Moon Embracing the Sun remains in Korea. Her elegant visuals, calm aura, and traditional styling reportedly drew nonstop photo requests from both Korean and foreign tourists visiting the palace.
