Beyond the Design: Why These KORELIMITED Tees Keep Selling Out

At KORELIMITED, every design tells a story. This month, we’re spotlighting two tees that continue to sell out and spark conversation: the 3456 Trigram Drop Shoulder Tee and the Gunbang Tee. These aren’t just graphics on fabric; they’re bold statements rooted in identity, pride, and Korean culture.

3456 Trigram Tee

"3456" might look like a simple number at first glance, but it holds deep meaning. This tee showcases the four trigrams (건곤감리 / Geon-Gon-Gam-Ri) from the Korean flag. The trigrams represent heaven, earth, water, and fire, while the numbers 3, 4, 5, and 6 correspond to each trigram’s number of bars.

An image of the Korean flag showcasing the balance of opposites—yin and yang, nature and humanity, spirit and action—highlighting the traditional trigrams in a clean, modern layout that reflects cultural heritage through a contemporary lens.

These symbols reflect the harmony of opposites, balance between yin and yang, nature and humanity, spirit and action. By combining them with a clean, modern layout, the 3456 Tee reinterprets tradition through a fresh streetwear lens. It’s a conversation starter. A subtle nod to Korean heritage that speaks volumes without saying a word.

“I missed out on my size the first two times it was released and I was sad. But when they restocked a 3rd time, I wasted no time in ordering 2, I wasn't gonna miss out again.. I finally got to wear it for the first time the other day and LOVED IT! It was so comfy and I loved the way it fit and looked. I've ordered several times from Korelimited, and I've never been disappointed, and I still haven't.”

Gunbang Tee

If you've ever served in the Korean military, or even just watched videos about it, chances are you've come across gun-bbang (건빵), also known as Korean army biscuits. These crunchy snacks, made of hardtack barley, were included in military rations and became a symbol of Korean soldier life. Dense, durable, and surprisingly addicting, gun-bbang wasn’t just fuel, it was a small comfort in the middle of intense service. Over time, it became a nostalgic snack that represents camaraderie, resilience, and shared memories. 

On the left, a Korean soldier holds a packet of military biscuits (gun-bbang); on the right, former Acting President Hwang Kyo-ahn samples gun-bbang during a visit to the ROK Army Training Center, reflecting the cultural and historical relevance of the snack.
The Gunbang Tee represents a piece of Korean culture with a playful, retro graphic. 

Gunbang snacks are such nostalgic snacks so it brings so much memories by just seeing the image (IYKYK). This design is exceptional.”
