"When Korea hosted Olympic games, almost nobody in the world knew about Korea.
So Korea needed to advertise Korean culture.
However we didn't have any attractive culture except Kimchi.
Somehow Korean aristocrats prefered Chinese culture better than Korean own culture.

Then "Samurai" became a target.
Other targets Kendo, Sumo, Bonsai are also getting damaged.
