What part is Japanese?
the kimono, the lady's dress
That is literally the outfit of DPRK's famous news anchor. Look up "North Korea broadcast news" and you will see pictures of her.
Edit: her name is Ri Chun-hee and the outfit is a chima jeogori, a type of hanbok. Source: BBC & Wikipedia
welp, i learned something new
in my defense, i did search for korean clothes, because i remembered they look different usually, and still now, searching for the specific word, i still see a different style
Hopefully this helps show that more than one culture can wear colorful, draped clothes.
How dare that North Korean news lady conflate North Korean with Japanese culture?
