Korea

During the rule of Queen Jindeok of Silla (r. 647–654), Kim Chunchu personally traveled to Tang to request for clothing and belts; one of the requested clothing was banbi (반비/半臂).[29] The banbi later reappeared in the clothing prohibition decreed by King Heungdeok of Silla (r. 826–836).[29][8] During the Silla period, the banbi may have been worn on sam (衫, a type of upper garment) which also corresponds to the way banbi was worn by men and women during the Tang dynasty.[8]

The banbi from the Unified Silla period appears to have also been worn in Goryeo.[30][31]
