The staff were very kind and accomodating. They let us pick out what we wanted to wear, and helped us put on the hanbok. The clothes themselves were very comfortable, clean, and elegant. The hair was expertly done. We went for the simplest hairstyle, but if you want something more sophisticated, they can do it for a few extra won. All in all, they had verg good service and clothes. Highly recommended. Would come back again.

The Wild Wild After Party musical was a wildly entertaining and enjoyable experience! From start to finish, the energy was high, the performances were engaging, and the entire show was well put together.
The men brought a great mix of charisma, humor, and talent to the stage, and the performance catered to a variety of themes, keeping things fresh and exciting throughout. Whether you’re going with friends or looking for a fun night out, this show delivers.
I’d definitely recommend it for anyone looking for a unique and lively performance with a playful twist!
