A netizen who is the head of a hanbok brand and a cultural heritage interpreter posted on social media on the 11th, "I happened to see a video of the Baekje Cultural Festival being held in Buyeo on YouTube, and while watching the Baekje fashion show, I found it odd, so I captured it and looked it up on Taobao (one of China's two major online shopping malls under Alibaba Group)." The costumes of many participants in the Baekje fashion show posted by this netizen were similar to the cosplay outfits sold on Taobao, but he asked, "Do I look the only one who looks the same?" Is my eyesight wrong? If it's true, I'm shocked," he said, adding, "I hope it's not the same clothes,,, If I get hit, I'd be furious." A representative from a Baekje costume fashion show hosted by a private organization explained, "The costumes showcased at the show were originally purchased from Baekje costume manufacturers . They said they were purchased from specialized companies," adding, "However, the director commented that the clothes we bought looked similar in shape and color, so we bought about ten more pieces through an online site." Using Chinese clothing Regarding criticism that it was damaged,' he said, "It's not that I haven't thought about it, but I thought that for fashion shows, we needed clothes in different colors, shapes, and to express different social status, and at that time, Baekje also had a lot of exchanges with China, so I didn't think it would be a problem." He continued, "The organization operates with the mindset of serving the local community and does not profit from fashion shows," and added, "The Buyeo fashion show also held free performances, and although some support was received at the Gongju fashion show, The expenses were much higher," he ,,,explained, saying, "I didn't expect it to be a problem, and it's not a show that makes a profit,,, so the absurd and awful explanation of what's wrong is truly disgusting!!!!!
