The two leftmost travel tags depict a traditional Korean bride and groom dressed in red and blue hanbok. These colors represent the red and blue yin-yang symbol on the South Korean flag, representing harmony. The center travel tag is a caricature of Admiral Yi Sun-shin, a famous naval commander of the Joseon Dynasty who defeated the powerful Japanese army during the Imjin War. To the right of the general is a female wearing the wonsam, a long-sleeved ceremonial dress worn only by aristocratic women on special occasions. The item on the far right represents a samul nori performer. Samul nori is a folk music ensemble commonly performed in the rural areas of South Korea to ensure a bountiful harvest. The ensemble consists of four percussion instruments that mimic the sounds of wind, rain, thunder, and clouds.
