By the way, how did you feel when our 'Hanbok' appeared at the Olympic opening ceremony yesterday (the 4th)?
Although hanbok was expressed as a culture of ethnic minorities in China, there were many opinions that it was uncomfortable and unpleasant.
The presidential candidates criticized them all.

The lights of the Olympic Stadium are turned on and the Chinese flag and the five-star red flag appear.
At the moment when people from all walks of life, Han Chinese, and people representing 55 minority groups pass the flag together, familiar clothes stand out.
This is our hanbok, from the pink skirt to the white jeogori to the finely decorated daenggi.
This woman in hanbok guarded the stadium until the opening ceremony was over.
The promotional video screened on the electronic board before the opening ceremony included scenes of yutnori, kimjang, and Ganggangsullae as well as hanbok.
Some netizens reacted with anger to Korean culture, which suddenly appeared in the Beijing Olympics, saying, "Are you trying to steal ours?"
China previously introduced a hanbok dance troupe at the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics.
It is understood that the official event is meant to show the culture of the Korean-Chinese, one of the minority ethnic groups, but there is also an opinion that, following the Northeast Project, kimchi and hanbok should be viewed as part of a 'cultural fair' that claims to be their own culture.
[Seo Gyeong-deok/Professor at Sungshin Women's University: (before the Olympics) There are scenes of people wearing hanbok and spinning tops, and that the largest Chinese portal sites such as Baidu have continued to insist that the hanbok originated from them (' This is the basis for judging it as 'cultural fairness'.)]
Opposition presidential candidates such as Lee Jae-myung, Yun Seok-yeol, and Ahn Cheol-soo all criticized the appearance of Korean hanbok at the Chinese Olympic event.
