Topic: The King and the Clown - historically correct draw ??

I recently watched said Korean movie (The King And The Clown). In Korean language, and I didn't understand one word, honestly.
Focussing on the images, I noticed the following draw I never came across until now - see the appended image.

Is this drawing style traditional, or just a slip of the film makers ?

I'm not seeing the image.  Not sure if this is a problem on my end or what.

I think mine. Just couldn't manage to upload the image...
Trying a drag&drop from a seemingly successful upload:

The link i gave in my last post supposedly works, at least it does for me.
Still a bit confused how image uploads work.

I logged in again, and tried to view the image by clicking on the link in my second post, which worked for me.
I'm still baffled by the ... bit strange method of including images.
Upload files first, to get them in a list below the message text. Then drag those symbols to the post. That's at least what I did.

Anyway, a verbal description.
Index finger and ring finger form a (very) deep hook around the string, below the arrow. Seems it is hooked into the second joint, not the first one like with the mediterranean style.
The thumb is pressed slightly against the arrow, parallel to it.
Archery plays a very minor part in the movie, so I suspect it is negligence of the filming crew.
