According to South Korea's "Seoul News" reported on the 29th, the American "Vogue" magazine recently took a set of "Korean clothes" fashion photos with alternative styles at the Blue House, the former presidential palace, which caused huge controversy. Therefore, Italian luxury brand Gucci is considering whether to hold a fashion show at Gyeongbokgung Palace, the royal palace of the Joseon Dynasty in Seoul as originally planned.
reported that Gucci had previously negotiated with the Korean Cultural Heritage Agency and planned to hold a fashion show at Gyeongbokgung on November 1. The Department of Cultural Heritage believes that this fashion show is an excellent opportunity to promote Korean palaces to the world. Gucci also hopes to promote its new season fashion products through this event. However, because the Korean version of the American "Vogue" magazine took a set of "Hanbok" fashion photos with alternative styles at the Blue House some time ago, it was considered by public opinion to "lower the national dignity" and was strongly condemned. As the controversy intensified, plans to hold a fashion show at Gyeongbokgung Palace had to be temporarily shelved.

Many mainstream Korean media reported on the 29th that related activities have been completely cancelled. But in fact, the Cultural Heritage Department, one of the organizers of the event, still seems unwilling to give in. The department said, "We realize that the current situation is very difficult, but we are still discussing relevant event plans." Gucci also said that at this stage, No comment, we would be very sorry if the event does not go ahead as usual.
