Dressed in traditional Korean attire, she wears a vibrant, flowing hanbok, adorned with intricate patterns and bold colors. Her hair is meticulously styled in a high, elegant chignon, held in place by a delicate headdress adorned with precious stones and intricate gold filigree. The girl's role as a court singer was an esteemed one, reflecting her exceptional musical talents and grace. Music held a significant place in Korean royal culture, and court musicians were highly respected for their ability to entertain and enchant the emperor and his courtiers.
