Chinese clothes in front of the Taegeukgi...This is Hanbok?
Jan 10, 2025
It is controversial that Chinese clothes are introduced as 'traditional Korean clothes' at the Australian War Memorial' located in Canberra, Australia.
Children's clothes during the Korean War are displayed along with the Taegeukgi in the War Memorial of Korea, and Chinese-style clothes are described as `Korean children's traditional clothes.'
Professor Seo Kyung-duk of Sungshin Women's University said, `Last year, many Internet users complained about the memorial, and after that, Korean Australians also protested, but it has not been corrected yet.'
Professor Seo said, `Earlier this year, Internet users who visited the memorial confirmed it and sent an e-mail again to the memorial," he added.
He added, "This error should not be neglected because it is Australia's most important national memorial and a place where many foreign tourists visit", he pointed out.
In the e-mail of the complaint, Professor Seo explained that `The clothes on display now are Chinese-style clothes, not Korean traditional clothes, such as the method of cutting the collar and sleeves, color combination, and embroidery.'
In addition, he urged "Korea's traditional clothes to be corrected as soon as possible so that Australian and international visitors do not misunderstand."
In response, Professor Seo emphasized that `China is insisting that hanbok is also its own culture' and"the more it is like this, the faster it should correct and inform the world of wrong hanbok information.'
Meanwhile, Professor Seo Kyung-duk posted a hanbok advertisement in Times Square, New York, and produced a multilingual video about hanbok and steadily promoted hanbok around the world through YouTube and various social media.
