Sweet.
Made me smile.
Is a Hanbok worn on special occasions?

Oh, just any special occasion. Along the kimono at weddings, festivals, graduations, and other ceremonies.

It looks like Alpha's wearing a fairly ordinary hanbok, by today's standards: a girl's jeogori (a hanbok top) and a chima (chima means skirt in Korean.) She's also wearing big socks, called beoseon. All those things are likely to be dyed silk. Hanbok isn't cheap now!
Nowadays people usually wear traditional hanbok when they're 100 days old, on their first birthday, as part of their wedding ceremonies, or when they're really old.
Alpha looks very cute indeed. :)
BTW, "eo" is usually used in writing to describe a Korean vowel that's a little bit similar to the first vowel of "uh-oh."

My wife, who is Korean, recognised the Hanbok right away. She said Alpha looks cute in it. I also wanted to show her the picture of Alpha in the Chinese clothing. Could someone please post the page number?
