Young girls at the open market. They wear Korean traditional long eturumagie that is tied with two long ekorume on the upper part of the coat. Their socks are called eposone and shoes are called ekomusine. All the girls have typical young girl's hairstyle that is parted in the center of their heads. Their costume would have been worn only on festival days, in this case (because of the heavy winter clothing) almost certainly on the Lunar New Year, which occurs in late January or early February.
