Hanbok Labeled as Traditional Chinese Attire? Explanation Given for "Broadcasting Error"

The Gyeongsangbuk-do Culture and Tourism Organization recently came under fire for misidentifying Hanbok as traditional Chinese clothing, didn't they?

The organization recently installed and operated an electronic signboard within the Bomun Lake Resort in Gyeongju to introduce the traditional attire of APEC member countries.

The issue lay with the screen representing China.

While the person on the screen was wearing Chinese-style clothing, the name of the attire was labeled as "Hanbok."

This was a situation that could easily spark misunderstandings, making it seem as though Hanbok were a traditional Chinese costume.

The Gyeongsangbuk-do Culture and Tourism Organization explained that a transmission error occurred during the test run following the relocation and installation of the electronic signboard.

They stated that the broadcast of the relevant content has currently been halted, and it is scheduled to be aired again after making corrections.
