  1. Dear Author,

    I would like to inform you regarding the 1st post on the ranking (Stairs of Musical theatre). As it is mentioned “geisha” and “kimono,” these two words are specific to Japanese Culture and is not representative of the artwork presented in the steps. I would encourage using the term “Kisaeng (Ginyeo) 기생” and “Hanbok” as they are the correct wording for this artwork.

    Best regards,
