Seoul: Asia's new fashion window?

Korea like a slightly younger and smaller Japan. even if I don't particularly like Seoul as a city, many of the areas where Japan once was predominant are now being taken over by SK.

Korean pop culture is just a copy of Japan's.

Korea has mimicked Japan's street/pop culture. Japan is the hub of where foriegn designers come especially in markets like streetwear. Famous labels like Supreme, Dom Rebel, Kanati Clothing Co., Black Scale, True Religion, Obey ex. are all trying to open shops or have products in Japan not SK. Japan is the most respected denim and style maker in Asia. Couture labels I argue also sell more in Japan.
