AI hanbok vs the real thing (I'm not fully on the real thing's side)

Two hanbok moments went around this week and they're basically opposites. First, an AI "photoshoot" of BLACKPINK in hanbok from an AI art account. Pink and green everywhere, giant peonies, heavy embroidery, Jisoo under a gat covered in flowers, Lisa in a pink hood shaped like a bell.

Second, NMIXX's Sullyoon performing in an actual hanbok. Pale blue skirt, sheer white jeogori, a long tassel, hair in a loose braid. Nothing extra.

Korean comments on the AI set were split. Plenty of people said some of it doesn't read as hanbok at all, more like a Korea-China-Japan mix, and that the eye expressions are strange. Others pushed back: why does a hanbok concept always have to be plain and modest, the colors feel like fun 90s hanbok. Sullyoon's comments were ten lines of people calling her a celestial fairy. Everyone will say the real one wins, and on looks it does. But I'll defend the AI set on one point. The pink and green pairing and the dense flower embroidery are things a real designer could take straight to a stage. The faces are the problem, not the clothes. If a brand made Jisoo's flower gat for real, I'd want to see it on an actual stage.

the AI one is a Champions League final kit, too much of everything. Sullyoon is the plain home shirt that wins anyway

the pink and green is fine but I'm sorry, a hood shaped like a bell is a lamp. Sullyoon in plain blue wins and she didn't need a single peony

costume is fine. half of stage hanbok is costume anyway

defending AI art is a stretch, the peonies are fun for about five seconds. then you scroll to the blue one and it's over

'concept, not hanbok' is the hot dog and sandwich debate. everyone's right and nobody's happy

the embroidery is gorgeous but that hood on Lisa is a costume, not hanbok

the jeogori collars in the AI set are mostly right actually. it's the hair and makeup that make it read 'somewhere in east asia'

ok that's useful, I'd never have clocked the collars. I only notice the hair and then the whole thing reads 'AI mood board'

I don't get defending AI art when the real Sullyoon photos are right there

sullyoon in that blue one... I'm crying, I'm fine, I'm crying

that bell hood in Seoul wind is a kite. I'd wear the blue one to a cafe and the hood once, for a bet

the AI set is a transfer rumour render. looks amazing, nobody has actually signed anyone

transfer rumour render is exactly it. Looks signed, wasn't, and somebody's already complaining about the wages.
