The June 2017 issue of IBK's in-house magazine with IBK (No. 382) used Kim Hyun Jung's work 'Naesoong: Living for Style' (2014) as its cover to match the month's theme, 'Let's Play,' and featured the image with an introduction inside. It described the piece — a Naesoong girl striking a swagger pose in a snapback bearing the IBK logo — as one that makes viewers reconsider their stereotypes about people dressed in hanbok.

전체 본문 보기

In 'Naesoong: Living for Style,' the figure wears a snapback embroidered with the IBK logo and strikes a so-called 'swag' pose.

We tend to unconsciously assume that anyone dressed in hanbok must behave with elegance and refinement.

But 'Naesoong: Living for Style' uses the Naesoong girl's free-spirited attitude

to make us reconsider that very assumption.

Why not step outside convention yourself and think a little more freely?
