The Seoul History Museum did nearly just that, when one of the first high-rise apartments were slated for demolition, they found a family that had never renovated their apartment, and kept nearly everything since moving in during the late 1970s early 1980s. They transplanted everything into a museum. It was incredibly nostalgia-inducing if you had lived through that era.
They ran it as an exhibit in full form like a time-capsule, and now reduced some rooms but maintains it as part of its 1980s permanent exhibit.
Oh boy, if they happened to find my house from the early 70s on? I cannot say it would be pretty. Shag carpeting, flocked wallpaper, earthtone everything.
Korean Soju companies had standardized their bottles (green glass bottles) since 1994, so that bottles collected could end up at any company and can be washed and reused… except when one company decided to brand themselves by introducing a light blue bottle. The other companies are retaliating by collecting them and refusing to pass them on.
I took one of those tins to the forehead in 86/87. So they were still around at that time. I don’t recall seeing one after that, though (but that might have been because our parents stopped buying them after the incident).
