[instiz] INDONESIANS WEARING TRADITIONAL INDONESIAN CLOTHING AT GYEONBOKGUNG PALACE

– The issue here is more about the location. However, overall, the clothes are fine

– The batik gown is beautiful, but it doesn’t seem to fit the location. One of the purposes of that place is to introduce Korean culture, so wearing batik and showing off is like not appreciating it.

– I apologize. It would be unethical to do this to tourists (from other countries) who are focused on introducing customs and culture. Perhaps you can try this in a more neutral location, such as a park or an urban crowd center. CMIIW.

– But batiks are so cool

– The location seems a bit off, but it would have been fine if you were on your way to Korea. This is a place where you can wear Hanbok and historical Hanbok instead.

1. If you’re going to criticize that, then you’d have to criticize all the YouTubers who visit European palaces wearing hanbok too ㅋㅋ yet people just praise them

2. I don’t really see why that’s an issue; couldn’t you just view it as a diplomatic delegation concept?

3. I think it’s fine, as long as people don’t go around calling Hanbok “Hanfu.” After all, no one is going to mistake that outfit for Hanbok

4. I do think this is problematic 

5. I don’t think much of this 

6. Even so, our country is much richer

7. It stems from the fact that many people from Southeast Asia come to Korea, get intoxicated by the idea of ​​”Koreans looking at me,” and create videos with an underlying attitude of looking down on Korea.

There are a lot of mentally unstable individuals who aren’t interested in respecting Korean culture but are obsessed with the fact that they, too, are receiving recognition

8. Weren’t there people who traveled the world wearing Hanbok, too?

Can’t we just view it in that same light?

9. As long as it’s not a kimono

10. No but all things aside, is it really okay to zoom into commoners’ faces like that?
