At the 'Jeongdong Night Trip' held by the Seoul Metropolitan Government for two days on the 23rd and 24th in the Jeong-dong area, it is known that a program for renting clothes from the Japanese emperor and the Japanese military police was run, causing controversy.
Among the 'Jeongdong Night Trip' event program, there was 'Jeongdong Hwanbokso', where you can borrow and experience various costumes during the flowering period for a fee. This was included.
Controversy over the fact that the Japanese colonial period uniforms were displayed and rented at events with the theme of modern history and culture of the Korean Empire, and that the Eulsa Treaty was signed in 1905 at Jungmyeongjeon Hall of Deoksugung Palace in Jeongdong, in which Japan took away the diplomatic rights of the Korean Empire has grown even larger.
The Seoul Metropolitan Government explained, "The service company that conducted the event had to rent clothes that were approved after consultation with the operator of the Jeongdong Hwanbok Center, but the operator provided and rented the clothes in question arbitrarily on the spot without getting approval from the city." .
In addition, he said, "We had to take action on inappropriate parts through management and supervision within the event venue, but there were some neglected parts."
