As a non Korean that has always loved Korean and learning the language and culture, I never got to fully partake in cultural activities especially when I went to Korea(ie. Wearing hanbok, celebrating chuseok etc.). BTS is one of the first groups that I listen to in the midst of my Korean journey and I have loved them for about a decade and I'll be seeing them in concert for the first time ever. So not only this is album is an homage to their heritage but it's a time that I want show my appreciation for both the group and their culture.

One of the things I'm interested in are the crafts such as the norigae but considering the state that I live in, the parts to make it aren't as readily available so I went on to search to find local Koreans that do make it but that's just as hard as well, considering there aren't many Koreans in my area (I resorted to fbm T.T). I don't own a hanbok and I want to make a Norigae but with work I couldn't set the time aside. Getting it from Amazon does feel wrong to me because it does feel disingenuous. But ...idk. am I thinking too hard about it??
