How a Fashion Designer Is Reimagining Traditional Korean Attire

What’s old is new in the hands of Kim Young-Jin. The fashion designer is famous for her exquisite hanbok, a traditional form of Korean clothing that has existed for centuries. But Kim has made hanbok her own, respecting the history of the iconic attire while boldly adapting it for a new era. Kim invites us into her Seoul, South Korea, studio to learn more about her approach to design.

    Hanbok is a dress worn inside a palace. Currently, Koreans are the people of the Central Palace, and the Eastern Dynasty was destroyed, and they were driven out and migrated to Manchuria, the Korean peninsula and Japanese colonial empire. Currently, the Chinese were of the ordinary class at that time and were liberated. In other words, the origin of Hanbok is from Koreans, and Dangun Joseon in Korean history is the Sang Dynasty. The ancestors of the Shang Dynasty are the founders of the Hongsan Civilization. Currently, Hangul and English were a single character in those days, but were separated in the Kidja period and became European characters. Cheonjamun was made by the Chosun people after that. Hangeul was not created during the Sejong Period. All were brainwashed in colonial history.

    I hope CCP netizens stop distorting Korea's history and culture. Before Ming Dynasty, Mongols ruled China. Mongolians liked Goryeo(old Korea) sheep. Goryeo hanbok, which was popular in the Yuan Dynasty, is being insisted on as Ming Dynasty Hanfu these days. I heard that hanfu is the traditional costume of the Han people? But why do they wear hanbok, which was popular among Mongolian royalty and nobles? In fact, I had never even heard the word Hanfu 20 years ago. I am disgusted with the CCP's greedy policy of integrating ethnic minorities. Free tibet! Free Uyghur! Goguryeo kingdom, Taekwondo, Kimchi, Hanbok, Hangeul, Seollal are Korean!
