[SBS Star] Why Is Kang Daniel in the Outfit of Goryeo Emperor?

Kang Daniel from the K-pop boy group Wanna One appeared in the outfit of Goryeo Emperor.

The homepage of the 'Special Exhibition of Goryeo Palace Kaesong Manwoldae by the South-North Joint Investigation Team' (literal translation) has been recently released.

This page is to advertise the special exhibition of the artifacts discovered by the South-North Joint Investigation along with the 1100th anniversary of the establishment of Goryeo Kingdom and the '2018 PyeongChang Olympic & Paralympic Winter Games'. From the website, Kang Daniel with the outfit of Goryeo Emperor is shown.

The facial expression of Kang Daniel with firm and calm pose perfectly suits the outfit.

This picture suggests that Kang Daniel in traditional Korean attire is to advertise the exhibition's program for the experience of wearing the outfit from the Goryeo era. The audience can take a look around the exhibition of traditional Goryeo attires and take pictures right next to the full-sized panel of Kang Daniel in the outfit.

The group Wanna One is working as an honorary ambassador of this special exhibition. Meanwhile, the South-North Joint Investigation Team has put a lot of efforts for ten years to get back the foundation of Goryeo Imperial Palace, and successfully launched a program that people can experience the major remains and artifacts from the excavation of Kaesong Manwoldae.

The exhibition is for free, and it will be open from February 10 to March 18 at the constructed exhibition center inside Daegwallyeong High School near PyeongChang Olympic Stadium.

Yet it will be closed from February 26 to March 8, the time between the next day of the closing ceremony of the 2018 PyeongChang Olympics and the day right before the opening ceremony of Paralympic Winter Games.  

The '2018 PyeongChang Olympic & Paralympic Winter Games' begins from February 9.
