For the last five years, many Korean celebrities have been increasingly using the airport due to their growing international popularity. They have been traveling to many other countries for concerts not only in Asia, but also Europe. The spread of Korean influence in worldwide media, also known as the Korean Wave, has spread to China and many other parts Asia. Pictured below, we see two members of Girls Generation, a popular Korean girl group, walking through the airport. Unlike American stars who usually strut in killer heels, the Korean celebrities prefer wearing wedge heels, sandals, or converse sneakers which present a more casual and convenient look. The males maintain their chic appearance with minimal prints and neutral colors.

Fashion style of young men in Korea tends to stick to solid colors. Also, Koreans like neutral colors. If they have a pattern, usually it is limited to one item. It looks relaxed. I felt that American fashion is louder than Korean and has more pattern on the clothes.

Recently, there are more people who prefer Hip-Hop style. I thought that in these days, music in mass media has emphasized the visionary image, so music influences fashion style a lot.
