💡 Why does that banner look so official?
Korea has a whole genre of formal congratulatory sashes/ribbons (경축) hung outside shops for grand openings, election wins, or promotions — always in that exact red-white-blue color scheme. Slapping one on a cat for literally doing nothing is the joke.vs. the US: like handing someone a real 'Employee of the Month' plaque for sleeping through their shift.Klore note
