"Grandfather is wearing a dress."

Translation: 할아버님께서 원피스를 입고 계세요.

What?! Grandfather?!?!

[RaphalLefo1]

Either a Scot, a priest or a trans...

[drigoro2000]

The term "trans" is generally used to talk about transgender or transexual people. Dresses are usually regarded as female pieces of clothing, although they're just cloth. Based on this, a Grandfather (a male) wearing a dress, would be a transvestite, not a transgender person. Reducing people to adjectives is really offensive, it would be the same as saying "a fat", "a black", "a white", "a short". It even sounds wrong.

[RQZ.Sash]

Your example is not at all offensive. It is normal to call black people just "black", white people just "white", etc... even though African or Caucasian is usually used in formal speech, "black", "white" are not at all offensive (but for some reasons "yellow" is considered offensive).

[Jaikandi]

You misread his entire comment.

원피스 = one piece?

[matt970073]

Yes, I think it's because the traditional hanbok is two pieces...

[Zoeeeyweee]

이상한 할아버지

[maymaysun]

Shouldn't it be 입으세요 if it follows 께서?

[Staszek456]

입고 계세요 is the honorific form of 입고 있어요 ("is wearing"), so everything is as it should be

[Paul494451]

Slay, grandfather <3

[Elaine9494]

I think the sentence says grandfather wears a one-piece suit.

[CocoCaramel19]

It doesn't. 원피스 means "dress".

[the_crait]

Is this common in Korea?

[Pamela909830]

No. Someone is being silly. Another sentence says a cow is wearing a dress.

[LilyDrimm]

I mean, hanbok can be a dress too so...
