When looking at T-shirts with English writing on them in Korea, one expects a few errors and oddities. Things like "Los York New Angeles," "Welcome to the Jungle Baby,"and "JUNK."
But there are always a few surprises...
First, let's start with the more mild examples.
What?!
Wasn't expecting this! But Korean's are obviously biased, as there was no U of M shirt. Still fun to see something from home!
Oh look, it's a name tag T-shirt. No name tag required. Easy to remember people's names if we all did this. (Especially Korean names, which are hard to remember.) Too bad Bon isn't a name in English that I'm aware of.
I'm not really sure who "Bon" is. Certainly not my roommate, who was kind enough to model.
And here is another example of a seemingly arbitrary use of English. Perhaps some hipster influence?
Because everyone wants mustaches on their shirt.
And there's nothing quite so attractive as a man with a caterpillar lip.
And then there's T-shirts like these...
Sure, you might be able to find a snarky T-shirt like this at a flea market in the U.S., but it's still funnier in Korea.
"You don't need bigger boobs. You need to read better books."
Not entirely certain on the interpretation of the correlation of these two.
... a commentary on South Korea's plastic surgery culture?
... a commentary on pop culture in general?
...Let's just title it: *Nerd Angst*.
Because boobs and books are obviously related.
But this one just takes the cake.
You know, in case you like to wear your theological views on your T-shirt.
kkkkk.... enjoy the theological shirt. very amusing.
