Yes! While it’s not perfectly accurate, her outfit is inspired by one of Korea’s traditional attires. The story is set in the Joseon Dynasty, but her clothing originates from the Baekje period (18 BCE), which predates Joseon. This was intentional and serves as a hint that she isn’t human.
Given China’s vast territory and the union of countless ethnic groups, similarities are bound to occur naturally. Additionally, the climate in northeastern China and Korea is quite similar, so I think similar clothing styles emerging is a natural phenomenon.
Thank you so much for enjoying the comic! :DD

Is she wearing traditional Korean clothing? I have never been to South Korea, but I have been to the northeastern region of China and have seen the clothing of the Korean ethnic group, which looks very similar to the works. Thank you, great work!
