🔥the 'korea army' t-shirt is apparently on every street in korea right now, and nobody seems to have bought theirs
small one but i find this funny. an instiz post today with just one photo and the title "the t-shirt everyone's wearing on the street lately"
it's the black korea army tee. context for non-koreans: most korean men do about a year and a half of military service, and these shirts come out of that. soldiers get them issued (the issued ones are more dark green) or buy them at the PX on base, and they come home with a pile. then the whole family starts wearing them the comments (30+ in a few hours) turned into a confession booth: "men, women, students, ahjussis, everyone wears it lol" "honestly there's even more ROKA than this one" (ROKA = Republic of Korea Army, the other army tee) "my brother brought one home, i liked it, told him to bring more, he brought five. now it's my pajamas, walking shirt and gym shirt" "my elementary schooler wants one, i keep saying next summer" "there's tons on coupang" and another person saying when they went to work at coupang, everyone there was wearing it and one person living abroad said a coworker came back from a business trip in korea saying there were soldiers all over the streets, and now wonders if it was just people in these shirts lol so it's half comfy basics, half "someone in my family served and this is the souvenir." is there a shirt like this where you live, the one everyone owns but nobody bought? thoughts?
