From the moment those outfits were revealed, fans worldwide praised the innovation and detail of each piece. In particular, the viewer couldn’t help but compliment Jisoo’s outfit, which was stylish and suited her personality!

During the video, Balko revealed that even though she was proud of the outfits, she couldn’t take full credit for the styling.

That was reformed well by me. Jennie gave so many ideas when making this hanbok. She showed me a picture, and it was a pictorial where the model was wearing western dress code in Korean style, and I just got hooked by it.

Balko also revealed the thought and design process that went into creating the outfits and how much work she put in to ensure that they all looked effortless and worked with the video’s concept.

I purchased outfits that weren’t very hanbok-like and ones with hanbok lines, customized and made the outfit.

As expected, Balko was extremely proud of the finished result and the reactions it got from fans, and the influence it has had on other artists and designers when working with the traditional hanbok style.

I did it, but I thought, “I did it well.” I felt like I did the mission well.

— Kim Balko

There is no denying how iconic these outfits are. Recently, fans have seen more idol groups such as K.A.R.D, A.C.E, and many more also put their own spin on the traditional hanbok design. You can watch the whole video below!
