'In South Korea, there are plenty of people trying box braids or dreadlocks, but they barely discuss the issue of cultural appropriation.'
"Honestly, I was initially attracted to box braids just because of its beauty," she told BuzzFeed News."I wouldn't deny that. Because, at that time, I did not have a good understanding of the culture behind the style. So, at first, I started by searching numerous tutorials about braiding."
"Of course, I would be frustrated. However, if people of other cultures are interested in Han-bok and learn about it with respect, I would think there's nothing wrong about it. I'm not saying this is always right. It is just my opinion. I was pondering about how can I respectfully wear the style. I don't think I have a right to define if non-black people can wear box braids or not. I think only black people have a right to do so.
"It is pretty hard to experience different cultures in this environment. In South Korea, there are plenty of people trying box braids or dreadlocks, but they barely discuss the issue of cultural appropriation."
