a year ago

The 'podaegi' is a traditional Korean baby wrap used to carry infants closely. It is similar to a small blanket with a strap to secure the baby, known for providing a sense of security and comfort due to its closeness to the caregiver. Historically used in Korea, the 'podaegi' gained popularity overseas in the 2010s, recognized by Western media as 'podaegi'. Even actor Robert Downey Jr. identified it during a Korean visit in 2013. Although its global trend has waned recently, the 'podaegi' remains a significant part of Korean heritage and baby-carrying culture.
