<Hand Fan>

Since a long time ago, Koreans have been using hand fans to cool down. Traditional hand fans have creases and fold, and most of them have various patterns painted on them. Besides the traditional hand fans, there are many different types of hand fans available at stores. You can easily find ones in the shapes of cartoon characters and others made with traditional Korean paper called Hanji. You can purchase fans at most stationery stores or shops that sell traditional Korean items.

<Portable fan>

Portable fans are small electric fans that you can carry in your hand. There are usually two types of fans, the one is a battery type and the other is a chargable type. The chargable fans can be charged by using smartphone chargers and portable auxiliary batteries. In addition, the neck-band fan, an upgraded version of portable fan, is recently released! It is more convenient than the old versions because you do not have to carry the fan in your hand. The portable fans including neck-band fans can be purchased at Daiso or on the internet.
