Tiny bags containing a combination of charcoal made from salt and burnt mulberry are tied to ropes that get hung over water and are lit up. Since the fireworks are lit over large water surfaces, the effect is breathtaking and beautiful.Humi⁷ 💜 아포방포@humiqurAn attempt with watercolor (the one art medium I am still struggling with 🥲)#Indigo #BlueArtForNamjoonI've seen few tweets about fireworks and wildflowers with cinnection to Indigo.

The gentlemen experts came and installed this for us.BTS fans will agree that Nakhwa Nori has become a known phenomenon all thanks to him featuring it in Wildflower. The fandom has now taken to social media to appreciate not only the beautiful Korean tradition but also RM's thoughtfulness in making it more widely known to international fans.Given that BTS members are global icons and one of Korea’s biggest superstars, some fans also believe that showcasing a part of the country’s culture and heritage will do wonders for the Hallyu wave.An ARMY also mentioned that besides BTS' leader, the popular variety show 2 Days and 1 Night also featured an episode on Nakhwa Nori.JKs_Waist⁷💌💙@JKs_WaistNamjoon has me falling for moon jars & nakhwa nori... like... he is the most precious human that brings us such beautiful things... #Wildflower #Indigo #RM #Namjoon twitter.com/BTStranslation…Sel⁷ (slow)@BTStranslation_ Ah this scene, you guys might be aware but this is called 낙화놀이 (Nakhwanori).
