A Bok-geon made of black silk was worn on the head. The large belt worn on the waist has a black line decoration on the edges. The Bok-geon had facing creases on both sides of the crown of the head, and a string was attached 19cm down from the crown of the head, which was flung backwards to be tied below the back of the head.
