I am the father of the groom

Most likely, if you were Korean, you would wear a men's "hanbok", a Korean traditional costume reserved for ceremonies and celebrations such as weddings, etc.
Here's some English website explanations of a Korean wedding:

http://www.worldweddingtraditions.com/locations/asian_traditions/korean_traditions.html
If you live in a big city such as Chicago or New York City, there are definitely Korean Hanbok shops where you can get your outfit tailored and fitted. Hanbok is not ready made, you have to get it specifically tailored, and pick out the colors. I'm sure if you mention you will be the groom's father, they will choose appropriate colors for you to wear. In Korean, hanbok is spelled like this: 한복, so look for a sign that says that.
If that doesn't work and you can't find a hanbok shop, a black suit works as well.
Hope that helps~!

Traditionally a hanbok is worn. But times have changed there, too.
Ask your son what you are to wear.
