1. GacheGache is a big wig worn by Korean women. Women of high social backgrounds and gisaeng wore wigs (gache). Like their western contemporaries Koreans considered bigger and heavier wigs to be more aesthetic. However, there is a record of an incident where a heavy gache wig led to the death of a 13-year-old bride as the heavy wig compromised her neck as she was getting up to greet her father-in-law entering the room.
