fashion is fetish is fabulous is fun is fantastic!
“한국의 패션 잡지 다시보기“ 섹션은 한국의 모든 패션 잡지를 (차례로) 소개하고, 각 패션잡지의 특징과 주요하게 다루고 있는 내용을 기본적으로 제공한다. 또한 이달의 이슈 등 볼거리에 대해 생동감있게 전달한다. 매달 발행되고 있는 많은 패션잡지를 모두 읽을 시간이 없는 한국인에게 미용실에서 머리를 하는 시간, 기다리는 시간을 쪼개어 읽을 만한 뉴스를 선별하여 제공하고, 외국인에게는 한국의 패션 잡지들이 발행하는 주요 내용을 살짝 맛 볼 수 있도록 기획되었다.
The Korean Fashion Mag Reviews section covers Korean fashion magazines and provides basic information about their content and style, and reviews individual issues on a monthly basis. This offers the non-Korean audience a peek into the world of Korean fashion publishing, while letting the Korean viewer know what’s worth reading while waiting in the hairdresser’s chair every month.
잡지/Magazine: An An
설명: 앙앙 본지는 일본이다. 일본판은 매주 출판 하지만 한국판은 매달 출판하고 있다. 그래도 앙앙 코리아도 이미 100호 넘게 발행했고 이번달 까지 포함해서 104호다. 잡지대상은 20대에서 30대 여성들이고 항상 패션이랑 뷰티에 관한 정보들로 꽉 찼다.
Description: An An is originally a Japan-based women’s fashion magazine. While the Japanese version runs on a weekly basis, the Korea one runs it every month. An An Korea has already published over a hundred issues and their most recent one is their one hundred fourth. The magazine targets women in their twenties to early thirties and it is always packed with information on fashion and beauty.
장점들: 상세한 패션 스타일링에 관한 기사들, 요즘 ‘핫’ 한 한국 연예인들에 화보 인터뷰, 시즌마다 다루는 유행 아이템 정보, 공짜로 주는 룩북, 동네에 있는 맛집들을 다루는 작은 부록, 인기 있는 꽃미남들의 인터뷰, 직장 조언, 그리고 믿을 수있는 뷰티 리뷰.
Strengths: Descriptive articles on fashion styling, photo shoot interviews of up and coming Korean celebrities in their twenties, coverage on ‘it’ fashion items for the season, a free fashion lookbook, a small review book covering trendy neighborhoods, interviews on ‘it’ boys, career advices, and trustworthy beauty reviews.
단점들: 할리웃 연예인들의 관한 스타일 정보들이 너무 많아 독창적이지 않고 차라리 한국 연예인들의 스타일들을 더 봤으면 하고, 광고들도 덜 있었으면 (하지만 이건 한국에 있는 모든 잡지들도 마찬가지다), 그리고 누구나 다 다를수 있는 패션 정보들 보다 창조력이 있는 기사들도 보고 싶다.
Weaknesses: Too much coverage of Hollywood celebrity styles, which leads to unoriginality and blind following on this side of the water. There should be more on Korean celebrities instead, and less advertisements (although this is a problem for every magazine), and offer more creative rather than mainstream fashion information.
보이다시피, 단점들은 별로 없는 편이다. 유용한 패션 정보들 때문에 쓸떼 없는 물건들을 사는 대신에 필요한 물건들은 살수 있게 도움을 준다. 그러나 흥미있는 스타일링이랑 사진들도 더 보고싶다. 잡지에 관한 정보를 더 얻고 싶으면 홈페이지를 방문하세요.
As you can see, there’s not too much to dislike about the magazine. It’s a fashion magazine that gives great advice where you can be inspired to buy fashion items that won’t let your money go to waste. However, it would be nice to see more interesting photos and styling tips. You can check out their website for more information, but unfortunately it’s only in Korean.

Fierce!~ I am definitely proud of you & I know and guarentee everyone that Erotic Orange will meet your expectations and give you great tips on fashion! Can’t wait to see more! <3
OH are we getting this column going? This kick-off means a lot because we’ve sought a person who would provide a recap of korean fashion magazines since even before the summer. Who’s “erotic orange?” THanks a lot and i’m curious who you are! why don’t you introduce yourself in one of the future posts so everyone can appreciate your writing contribution?
I’m always contemplating on whether I should get a Korean mag or not. I think I’ll get a copy of this month’s issue. ;D They’re way cheaper than the imported magazine’s anyway. Keep up the good work!
I appreciate the sweet comments. =)
Seoulienne- I’m going to do an introduction post soon so stay tuned~
it’s a love-hate relationship with me and fashion mags. hehehe. like you said i hate how they are so hollywood based no matter where the mag is made. i’ve picked up a few korean fashion mags at the korean store and it amazed me how many spreads hollywood stars got. i was like wth? i’m trying to get away from the boring american fashion. although, sometimes there are good ones. but i want something different.
then when there are very very nice photos with very nice accessories and clothing i love it and i hate it when i can’t find something similar to it. hahaha. also it makes me want to go out and buy so much stuff just cause i’m inspired. hahahha.
