Binyeo

[2] In the Joseon Dynasty, on the day of becoming an adult, girls held a coming of age ceremony by putting binyeo in their hair.

In the ascension myth "Chiwondae Yangsanbok", which is passed down in the Hamgyeong-do area, it also appears as a medium for binyeo to meet the two loved ones.

[clarification needed][3] Binyeo (originally 빈혀 where 鬢 is the first character), according to historical records, are traced back to use during the Three Kingdoms Era, usually worn with a Goryeo ladies' hair style similar to chignons.

The binyeo was used as a replacement for the gachae also known as a wig, that many married women would put around their hair to show status and standing in society.

Regulations were inherited based on the certain class of individuals on who could wear or make different ornaments and accessories from the previous Goryeo Dynasty.

At the gyerye rite, a part of the coming-of-age ceremony, many girls would first wear and display this specific type of hair pin.
