This paper examines the effect of star-entertainer imitation on female high school students in terms of their appearance management activities such as school uniform modification behaviors, hair style care behaviors, and make-up behaviors. For this research, data of 379 female high school students living in Jeollabuk-do was analyzed through reliability analysis, factorial analysis, cluster analysis, one-way analysis of variance, and cross-tabulation analysis. In the research, based on the type of star-entertainer imitation, the female high school students were divided into three categories: active followers, psychological followers, and passive followers. The research showed that active followers, who exhibited imitation behavior most frequently and had the highest imitation desire, were most frequently involved in school uniform modification. Inclined to imitate the school uniform styles of star-entertainers in soap operas, they modified their school uniforms. The active followers were also enthusiastic about hair care, were well aware of trendy hair styles, and demonstrated a fondness for star-entertainer hair styles. In addition, they were actively involved in make-up activities. They put on basic make-up everyday and exhibited a desire to learn about make-up styles. However, passive followers, who showed the least frequent imitation behavior and the lowest imitation desire, were not as keenly involved in school uniform modification behaviors, hair style care behaviors, or make-up behaviors. The study concludes that by providing teenagers with systematic education on desirable mass media and educating them on proper behavior, an effective educational tool for guidance on clothing habits can be derived.

아기를 보고 웃으면 아기도 따라 웃는다. 앞에서 누군가가 하품을 하거나 활짝 웃으면 옆 사람도 이내 따라 한다. 이런 현상은 우리 뇌의 '미러 뉴런(Mirror Neuron, 거울 신경세포)'에 의한 것이라고 한다. 미러 뉴런이란 '보는 대로 따라 하는 신경'으로 불리는데 남의 행동을 모방하도록 하는 우리 두뇌 안의 신경세포다. 그렇다면 미러 뉴런을 다이어트에 활용해보자. 유명인들의 다이어트 성공담을 들으면, '나도 ${\bigcirc}{\bigcirc}{\bigcirc}$처럼 완벽한 몸매를 가질 수 있어'라며 나의 미로 뉴런이 반응해 금세 따라하고 싶어질 것이다.

This study was conducted on adolescent high school girls who were most interested in their appearance to examine the makeup and cosmetics use of high school girls and to present their correct pre-made cosmetics use training materials. This survey was conducted after the modification and supplementation of the questionnaire. Most high school girls in adolescence begin to wear makeup out of curiosity at the age of 16-17, when they are in their third year of middle school and first year of high school. In other words, high school girls in adolescence begin to wear makeup as the effects of puberty lead to rapid physical development and physical change, and the desire to get attention from reason and others rapidly increase. It can be seen that high school girls who are interested in makeup actively manage their personal appearance as they explore the Internet, TV and other media outlets, copy female celebrities of their own age who appear in the media, and make them look strange.
