Questions & Answers about mudae uisanggwa bunjangeun keoteun dwie isseo.

What does 무대 의상 mean, and why are there two nouns together?

무대 의상 is a noun phrase made of:

• 무대 = stage
• 의상 = clothing, costume, outfit

Together, it means stage costume or costume for the stage.

This kind of noun + noun combination is very common in Korean. Korean often puts nouns next to each other where English would use of, for, or an adjective-like noun.

Examples:

• 학교 음식 = school food
• 여름 옷 = summer clothes
• 무대 의상 = stage costume

What does 분장 mean exactly? Is it just makeup?

분장 usually means stage makeup, theatrical makeup, or costuming/makeup used to transform someone’s appearance.

It is often broader than everyday makeup. In a performance context, 분장 can include makeup done for a role, and sometimes the overall visual transformation of the actor.

So in this sentence, 분장 is best understood as stage makeup or performance makeup.
