If you look at the actual portraits of the officials of the time, all the old and bearded men are dressed in bright rose pink outfits
Even in portraits that have passed the years, pink shows off its unique bright color
According to Sokdaejeon, compiled in 1744, a high-ranking official at the time wore a red robe for a lower-ranking official than the official in the pink box office
Portraits of officials who were active long before him can also be seen wearing pink clothes An example is a portrait of Hwang Hee, a civil official of the early Joseon Dynasty, who was active in the 1300s
Meanwhile, these fine rose-pink uniforms disappeared in the late 1800s, more than 100 years later, when all of them were replaced by black during the clothing reform that took effect in 1884
It is said that the blue and red official uniforms that we commonly encounter in dramas and movies were the early days of Joseon’s founding after the dissolution of Goryeo
