If possible, could you please tell an English-speaking user to refrain from posting screenshots of people wearing hanbok with these headwears and Boots? As I said, it comes as a big insult to Koreans.

Are they ok to mix and match with outfits outside of the Korean based sets? As in just wearing a single piece with say...the bouncer outfit or a dress etc?

ramyeonguksu.bsky.social•4 days ago

What's the story behind why it's a sensitive topic?

"It is the style that was prevalent during the Japanese Occupation that is still a very recent catastrophic event to many Koreans. To express it in simpler terms, it would be akin to having a Nazi outfit introduced into the fantasy game you come to enjoy as a hobby."

It was a time of ethnic cleansing. Japan conquered Korea and banned the usage of Korean names and started stripping away everything that made Korea.... Well, Korea. Cultural items were taken and even so much as speaking Korean at that time was frowned down upon

There are several instances in time even as recent as the 1950s of Japan trying to turn other Asian countries, notably Korea and Southeast Asia, into something more similar to Japan.

Ooooh wow I see. I kinda thought most of the sources of China/Korea/Japan strain ended in ww2, I didn't realize it continued even after that

If i may ask a question on just hoping to further my understanding. I get the headpieces, but why the shoes? They look like normal shoes to me. Is it simply because they are part of the far eastern set or is there something else I am not aware of the design? TY for the time and heads up about this.
