#1 Hanbok uses an awful lot of fabric... and the nicest ones are all over time-consuming embroidery. Then, too, they are a positive danger for factory workers, and impossible to wear while labouring in the fields planting rice. Does the North Korean government wish its women to return to keeping house and caring for babies? With what economic excess is this bourgeois behaviour to be supported?

#3 It appears they're just following a trend that started in the South a decade before. Its part of the need for unique identity, not much different than the need to wear ledenhosen or african 'traditional' dress or vintage civil war gear.

#4 Want to bet they're the ones who discouraged wearing hanbok to begin with as part of the creation of the "new juche man/woman/whatever" when they started their revolution?

Dem startegist BOB BECKEL > iff Dubya nominates a SCOTUS candidate that is pro-Gay/Lesbian and pro-Abortion, etc, the Dems will be obligated to contest/challenge him or her.
