"Fluttering the Overcoat Hems" is a variety program that introduces Korea by five entertainers, who are prominent in each field including K-pop, drama, fashion, and sports traveling abroad. Their first destination was Denmark."
"I chose a country that is unfamiliar and difficult to go to instead of a country with good accessibility," Producer Hwang said. "We were told that Denmark was interested in the Korean culture, so we thought about what we could convey to them."
The five people who went to Denmark sold K-items that combine traditional designs and modern life including AirPod cases designed with Goryeo celadon patterns to locals, and was able to look at the reactions of them. These items are currently sold as souvenirs at the National Museum of Korea.
