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.

Weird to see that the hanbok is the main theme and yet it became an unexpected car advert. Didn't make the connections but the aesthetics is beautiful (can't afford it though).

Well, that was a very sneaky car advert. I was genuinely interested in seeing this artists designs, only to be disappointed by only seeing a few before it devolved into a very obvious advertisement. I find it funny and sad that the Genesis logo appeared more times than the artist said "Hanbok". Thanks Beryl.

Lol but what she said at the exact moment is "한복은..." (pronounced as "hanbokgeun), means "The hanbok....", with -은 (/eun/) particle that's a subject particle. But yeah when "n" sound meets "b" sound in Korean, sometimes it kinda sounds more like "m" sound.

Do you want a Sony PS5 Console or Microsoft Xbox Series Console? As well Nintendo Switch. What games are you hyped about? What type of games are you into?
I respect everyone's fashion sense different cultures dress differently but as an American I know the lastest trends as everyone knows I can think outside the box I am a young trendsetter just starting to make a name for myself in fashion design
I get it was sponsored by Genesis, but next time, could the team just leave the genesis icon up and not popping up every 4 seconds? That way it's way more distracting.
Ok
These things were out wayyyy before this video, especially in china
Someone give me a comment idea so I can finally get some likes, please I'm early for the first time.

Film about some designer's explanation of how deep the meaning of her designs is. Whatever. And of course her car choice has deep meaning as well but she didn't explain if the clothes AND the car were inspired by the same JAR. What a bunch of lofty BS.

So disappointing. I wanted to see more about the designer and her creations and not some stupid car.

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!
i don't find this story impressive people reimagine tradition all the time and in many ways.
