Modeling in Korea

One big cultural difference between Korea and America is the way the "commercial" models pose. In America, the cheaper the clothes, the cheesier the expression. In Korea, it goes the other way...the cheaper the clothes, the more bored the models appear. This boredom also applies to Korean celebrities endorsing food items, grocery stores, and patriotic ideals.

I suggest clicking on the pictures to get the full effect.
Enjoy.

    "I have a new t-shirt."

    "I have a new t-shirt. And I can see between my fingers."

    "I have a new t-shirt. And a mouth."

    "I have a new t-shirt. And I am learning to vogue."

    Libby, it's so true...the last one is trying to portray this move they do where they pretend they're yelling, but they have absolutely no expression on their face.
