Notes

PyeongChang 2018 – costume worn by the Bungee Loop dancers during the “Light of Harmony” segment at the Closing Ceremony. Designer Jain Song spoke about the costumes designed for this segment: “One of the themes of the Closing Ceremony of the PyeongChang Games was the next wave, suggesting the spirit of the challenge to overcome traditional obstacles and move forward (...). I designed costumes that would help the dancers show their dance moves during the Closing Ceremony (...). The costumes will also present a beautiful line of clothes that are both modern and a bit Korean.” OCOG donation
