Probably because they got very much interested in the sword martial arts for some political reasons after the Japanese sword martial arts have become pretty popular all over the world.

You have only to watch "アメリカ人が韓国人の剣道の嘘にブチ切れ Koreans stole Japan culture"

here on this Youtube site in order to know the fact.

Gooks are desperate to be like the Japanese people all the time.

The show is different from the martial arts

"Common soldiers hardly ever wear swords, only officers and mandarins of a higher rank are armed with such of Japanese make,

but they are all old and rusty, and it is more than likely that these also were brought into the country by the Japanese, and were left behind.on their withdrawal.(Imjin war)"

As you see, Koreans didn't see value in swords which meant they didn't have sword art culture.

I give you some account from the 19th century. (Before Japanese occupation) A forbidden land: voyages to the Corea　1880

Ernst Jakob Oppert

"The armament of the Corean soldiers is a very primitive one, and consists of quite antiquated common matchlocks, bows and arrows, and of single and three-pointed lances."

HDGD is not a sword art that originates from ancient Korea. It was created recently by some persons. The founders testified as such at the Korean law court.

Why doesn't they use the traditional Korean sword “Hwando (環刀) ”? KRIGATA and SAGEO for thrusting into a belt are the features of Japanese sword. It is not the traditional Korean sword.

I can never find such old Korean sword or Korean soldier's photograph.

The traditional Korean sword was hung at the waist or the shoulder.

Why don't they wear hats and shoes?

South Koreans' delusion started.

@jessica5000000 There might be a sword thing in Korea as one cultural dancing thing without a real use, as this video is showing.

Were there some person or a movement to be able to say "Korea was independent alone"? What did she want at that time? She approached Russia. If it was the very heart of her, the whole peninsula should be with Russia.

Korea didn't (doesn't) have a reality & a soul to do a thing, but hoped a higher state of the life with dreaming by being given a sofa from others.
