Because everyone knows materialism and consumerism is so cool !! What?.. What do you mean people can't afford eggs?!
Yeah, maybe that's what ticks me off, it's indecent.
It's terrible how korean manwas get off on looking pretty (by their standards) and "luxury" brands, one on two times you can be sure they'll be pushing those concepts and it's kinda weird but their must be a sociological explanation for that.
(and no shade to the author, this isn't a thing i've seen only in their work.)
I’m gonna say koreans irl are like that too. Latest iPhone, luxury brands, etc. They’re obsessed with looking rich lol. Not saying Americans don’t do it but Koreans take it to the next level.
I never understood this "high priced brands are cool" thing, as long as the shirt is good quality it doesn't need to be that expensive, i see we have different love languages
