Photo of the Day: Sitting Pretty

Yes, before the lotus lantern parade started, everyone was sitting pretty. Literally.

Under the spring afternoon sun, the colorful hanbok and costumes of the participants overwhelmed my eyes (and attention!). Being privileged to regale the people of Seoul and international visitors that night, everyone made sure he or she looked his and her best!

And while the ceremony was still going on, the participants with the most colorful costumes sat prettily on the grounds of the Dongkuk University stadium, awaiting their cue to start the most fascinating parade of the year.
