Skinny jeans a hit in North Korea | ||
2011-01-05 | ||
Kim Young Soo, a political science professor at Seoul's Sogang University, said in a conference on Tuesday that adult movies, television dramas and instant noodle 'ramen' made in South Korea are also selling 'like hot cakes' in North Korea. Skinny jeans refer to slim-fit pants that have gained popularity around the world, said Prof Kim who interviewed about 2,000 defectors this year as part of a research project for the government. He said that skinny jeans are so popular in the North's capital, Pyongyang, that people there sometimes mistakenly believe Chinese wearing the stylish clothes are roaming their capital.
The professor said many of the defectors he has interviewed had stayed in China no longer than a month before they came to South Korea, allowing him to have a relatively up-to-date glimpse of the latest culture in the communist country. | ||

#2 They sure aren't into the relaxed fit Kimmy probably imports them and tells his subjects that they are called "fat jeans" just so they feel better about themselves. |
