Luxury Look and Fashion in Korea
One of the questions that have been in class by the presenters was “ Do you think fashion market will keep growing in Korea?” My personal answer is definitely yes when it comes to a country like Korea where appearance and facials are very important. Taking a look at plastic and cosmetic surgeries, last year the performed plastic surgeons in South Korea were nearly 700,000surgical and nonsurgical cosmetic procedures. It has become very common that 15-30 percentages of Korean women are said to have undergone a cosmetic procedure.
Back to fashion, from what I have noticed, fashion are used to be the main concern for females. But now days you see teenagers from both genders are interested in fashion. A huge amount of money goes for fashion market. In that last decade, Korea has witness a big change in the world of fashion and incredible growing of the fashion market. I think Korean teenagers don’t care about the function, the quality or the usage of the item as much they care about how luxury it looks or what brand name it carries. The idea that they are seeking for the image of privilege that comes a long with it. If you have been once to a fashion show, I sure that you have noticed that more than 90 percent of attendants are women wearing the most fashionable clothes and the handbags are of the most known brands. They will not hesitate to pull out the credit card and pay hundreds of dollars to buy a pair of shoes or black strappy stilettos with a pointy toe. For them it is worth of sexy. As a boy you may spend too much money on an electronic gadgets trying to show off or be a technosexual person.

I think these days, boys are very much concerned about fashion and appearance but one of the things that makes them not as uxorious as girls is the harabojie’s mind and the down look on those how tries to have the gay sense of fashion, get waxed or what is known as Metrosexual man or What ever became of the `man`s man`. Back to their days, they had war and they were fighting to survive and put food on the tables. Now all the boys have gone soft. Pretty soon they will be wearing makeup!
I'm very interested in your thoughts. haha. Actually, there are boys who make up everyday by themselves. And some girls really like men who are skinny like girls.
