"Gwanbok" is a Korean general term referring to all business attires of government officers given by government. It began to be worn since Silla period until Joseon Dynasty. There were several types of "gwanbok" according to status, rank, and occasion such as "jobok", "jebok", "sangbok", "gongbok", "yungbok", and "gunbok". "Jobok" was the "gwanbok" worn for special occasions such as national festivals, or announcement of royal decrees. "Jebok" was the "gwanbok" worn while an ancestor veneration ritual called "jesa" was held. "Sangbok" was worn as a daily official clothing while "gongbok" was worn when officers had an audience with the king at the palace. "Yungbok" was related to military affairs.

However, as the term in a narrow scope only denote the "gongbok" and "sangbok", it means "dallyeong", robe with a round collar.
