The issue is not that Korean Ams will try and wear hanbok as an attempt to reclaim their heritage. The issue is that such attempt will be theatrical and awkward and ugly because it's a product of self-orientalization. They can only imagine and imitate and exaggerate "Koreanness."
In fact, all we are doing is the most American thing possible - self-orientalize our heritage and reduce it to a few signifying memes, like food, costumes and holidays, all of which are imitations from the time when our parents moved to this country.
Irish have St. Paddy's, Mexicans have Cinco de Mayo, and none of those things really resemble anything the real people in Ireland or in Mexico do. They are American creations, a Disneyland of heritage.
People keep asking why this is bad. Here's why. https://twitter.com/AskAKorean/status/1381413382268522505
The point is not to say Korean Ams are unsophisticated or lacking in discernment. The point is that what Korean Ams imagine "Koreanness" to be is inflected and limited by the society they live in.
