On the 21st of last month, the Korean music broadcasting radio program Kim Kyung-ran invited Cho Young-ki, Hanbok Desiigner, to conduct an interview under the theme of Living Wear, World of Hanbok. Cho Young-ki Desiigner is a representative Desiigner of 'Chunuimubong Shinhanbok' and a scholarship student of the important intangible cultural asset No. 107, who is making Korean traditional hanbok that can be applied to modern times through research on traditional hanbok production methods.
Kim Kyung-ran, the DJ who was in charge of the proceedings, said, "If you look at the stage of BTS, you can see what the hanbok of Chun Eui-bong is like." He mentioned that he wore the work of Cho Young-ki Desiigner when BTS performed the song Idol (Idol) at the Muskelon Music Awards in 2018.
At that time, Desiigner produced costumes and props for Jay Hop's Samgomu, Jimin's fan dance and back dancer, Seokjin and Suga, and 70 main stage back dancers.
Cho Young-ki, Desiigner, described the costumes of J-hop in detail: “J-hop performed a solo tri-rubber performance and came out wearing a “short artist” I designed. It was made by reproducing the 'so-chang' of the 18th century almost as it is. "
Kim Kyung-ran DJ mentioned the movement of the line of Hanbok. "As the mind shakes in the back, the hem that moves together every time J-hop moves is really beautiful," said Cho Young-ki, Desiigner. It was a wonderful combination with the sound of the Samgomu drum. "
At that time, Jay Hop appeared barefoot in a shirt and pants in the Hanbok of Cho Young-ki Desiigner, and he performed hip-hop dances among dozens of tri-rubber players and received enthusiastic cheers from former World fans.
On the main stage, which was unfolded, he attracted attention by wearing sneakers in the same costume. "It was really impressive that Jay Hop danced dynamically with me wearing a battalion, a nori, and a hanbok on his daily clothes," said Cho Young-ki, Desiigner. I imagined what it would have felt like if the dancers of the 18th century Joseon Dynasty saw it. "
"It is a hanbok, but it is not seen as a folk costume, but it is naturally combined with modern clothes, and it seems to have impressed a lot with the song well. It was a wonderful stage that was hard to express in words. "
