Hive’s response to the criticism that Korean culture is old-fashioned

About the Korean elements in the Hive evaluation that was leaked recently.

‘Tacky and unsophisticated Orientalism’

But if you look at what happened outside of K-pop,

An appropriately modern mix of tiger + sun and moon elements.

‘Ive – Must’ is small and pink

They say it’s plagiarism from Chinese culture and call me a thief.

Suga, a member of BTS who is obsessed with them, released a solo song

In the case of ‘Daechwita’, even if there is some degree of visual exaggeration,

Even though it received rave reviews for incorporating both traditional instruments and the unique Ssampong of Joseon,

After attracting attention with K-pop before,

The current trend is to reexamine Korean elements around the world.

Unless it’s a truly pathetic evaluation.

There is no reason to make such a bad review.

What are these… really?
