Loki… just guessing… the schools have some basic guidelines, and the manufacturers would follow those rules with different cuttings and fabrics etc… thus there will be slight difference in quality and style of each uniform brands.

They don’t need to promote uniforms anyway. The school administration decides what the students should wear, right? They’re just wasting their money on useless cf’s if that’s the case.

They sure can live without celebrity endorsements. Problem only arise when one of them started to use celebs for promotion, forcing the others to follow suit… there’s why all of the major brands have to make an agreement to stop those promotions together.

i always envied koreans for having such nice uniforms.
if the company has quality, they can sure live without celebrity endorsements.
i remember watching the shinhwa one when i was a big fan of them.
it’s still so cute watching it now.

brain damaged for all the cuteness lol. the stars look cute, and the uniforms look cool. too bad will not see them in future, but i think they did the right thing, necessities like school uniforms should not be overcommecialized.
