What historical significance does the Hahoetal masks have in Money Heist Korea

Tracing the History and Lore of the Hahoetal Masks From Money Heist Korea, Do They Share Any Connection With the Infamous Salvador Dali Masks From the Spanish Show?

Money Heist fans are delighted that a Korean remake is on the way. But there are
some marked differences between the two. The most noticeable difference is the
change in the masks, while the red jumpsuits remain the same. Apparently, writer
Ryu Yong Jae wanted to add a Korean flavor to the reboot. But are the masks in
Money Heist Korea somehow related to the Dali masks in the original Alex Pina
version? Let’s find out. 


THE MONEY HEIST KOREA MASKS SHARE ONE COMMON CONNECTION WITH THE SPANISH VERSION

In Money Heist Korea the robbers are wearing Hahoetal masks instead of the Dali
masks. These traditional Korean masks originated
[https://artsandculture.google.com/entity/hahoetal/m0q3xx48?hl=en] in the Hahoe
Folk Village and Byeongsan Village in South Korea back in the 12th century. They
form a significant part of Korean culture and have the status of Nation Treasure
#121. The Korean performers generally wear them to perform the Pyolshin-gut Ta’l
nori. The masks represent the social classes back in the day. Additionally, the
expressions on the masks are reflective of the dynamics of the different
classes. 

While the Dali masks are fashioned from the famous Spanish painter Salvador
Dali. He is credited with ushering in the surrealist movement in art. He also
served as a major political figure supporting Francisco Franco’s authoritarian
regime. Just like Dali’s art scoffed at the capitalist system, the robber’s Dali
mask also rejected the capitalist society.

Actor Park Hae Soo, who plays Berlin, in the Korean remake, revealed
[https://m.koreaherald.com/view.php?ud=20220622000856] that the Hahoetal masks
were a mockery of the upper-class social elites. Both the masks represent
resistance, rebellion, and revolution. It’s a silent protest against the
inequality between the rich and the poor in society.

The Hahoetal masks make sense considering the robbers from both the countries,

together because “the rich are getting richer”.

In the Korean offering, South and North Korea are on the brink of unification.
They establish a joint economic area to further their unification efforts. Of
course, the robbers target the joint Mint. 

The series premieres on June 24.
