yeah they sure care about their appearance more than anybody (#1 plastic surgery country in the world), not just new yorkers, but bottom line, they don't look better than new yorkers IMO. if you talking about "effort" yeah, they are obsessed! to the point where they look so insecure. and as a result, they all look the same.
and those photos are, I guess, the best of best Korean fashion, maybe? Koreans you see on street are still into clothing that has huge designer brand logo on chest/back. you know what I'm talking about.
you like Korean fashion? cool. I don't think anyone has problem w/ that. but please don't try to talk smack or bring down other city style (New York, Tokyo, Paris wherever). cause you're just making fool out of yourself.
p.s) in case you wondering, I lived in Seoul for 10 years/San Francisco for 10 years/New York for 5 years.

i agree with damonD. though some of the posted outfits above look good, i don't see anything original or truly amazing. perhaps seoul has come a long way in the last 10 years but if you're comparing them to places like new york and tokyo then they still have a LONG ways to go, as another poster has mentioned. even if you take a look at korean editions of big magazines (VOGUE for example) their editorials honestly lack the same beauty, originality and artful approach that its american and european cousins embody. i think that while koreans might put a lot of effort into the way they look, they have not and are not yet doing anything original, they're just copying last year's trends from tokyo or putting on a girly dress with a designer handbag and heels.
and LOL at damonD's comment about all the plastic surgery in korea, so true! all their celebrities look the same
