Well, even they are very similar to each other , the pictures shown in the above are definitely Korean Armour. The boot they put on are Korean style, Chinese has a thick white sole on the boot (although some Korean also have one). The architecture in the background also shows Korean element. |
Yes, very similar to the armor Admiral Yi wore. Very Choson indeed. The helmet is similiar to a Choson helmet captured during the Imjin war that is on display in a museum. Although I would contend that the armor is not similiar to Qing armor, as noticiable differences, especially helmet and color. The armor, however, is similiar to late Ming armor.
btw, not all Chinese and Korean boots have a white sole.
