[+663, -61] It's a positive thing for a global brand like Gucci to hold their fashion show at the Gyeongbukgung Palace considering that it's free promotion for our country and a display of pride for the beauty of our palaces. Foreigners already get so confused with the architectural differences between Korean, Chinese, and Japanese styles as it is ㅋㅋㅋ I was quite surprised to hear that everyone felt negative about this show ㅋㅋㅋ

[+480, -78] It looks amazed. I feel proud that a luxury brand regarded by the world held their fashion show at our Gyeongbukgung Palace. It gave the show such a reserved yet mysterious feel. 

[+457, -45] It looks amazing

[+25, -20] They put on an amazing show. So much to see. I especially got a ton of new IU photos.

[+18, -6] Korea is where the money's at ㅋㅋㅋ the top spenders of luxury goods!!!

[+12, -17] What an embarrassment to our country. A show like this only downgrades such an important historical artifact, all in the name of luxury consumer goods.

[+12, -15] How can people applaud the degradation of our country's artifact in the name of capitalism?? There are people living in poverty still, this whole thing makes me throw up.

[+11, -27] I'm opposed to this. I'd understand allowing a domestic star like BTS to rent the place but it bothers me to see a foreign company use it for commercial reasons like this. It feels invasive. I would've also been fine if it was for a fashion show of a domestic brand.. but I guess we don't really have a fashion brand on the level of BTS yet.

[+9, -6] It looked amazing

[+8, -18] We're really renting out a palace that represents 1,000 years of our country's history for some show of clothing scraps

[+7, -4] The show was amazing, I definitely think our ancestors who built this palace would feel proud to see it
