Fashion companies in Korea have entered into the china since the late 1990s.

So in this research, I try to create fashion designs based on Hallyu Stars' fashion styles and images, who come on as a new culture code in China and other Asian. For this, I conducted theological consideration on what the Hallyu is, and looked into fashion styles in soft dramas which 5 Hallyu Stars started in and street fashion in Shanghai in China.

Firstly, the very definition of Hallyu which can be described as a phenomenon in which Korean movies, soap operas, and pop music have become immensely popular throughout Asia.has been expanding to signify the proliferation of Korean culture as a whole.

본 연구는 한국 대중음악을 대표하는 K-POP이 아시아를 비롯하여 전 세계적으로 퍼지고 있는 현 시점에서 중국의 K-POP과 드라마의 수용현황을 분석하고 K-POP과 드라마의 이용 및 평가가 한국과 한류에 대한 호감도에 미치는 영향을 살펴보고자 하였다. 연구결과 한국에 대한 호감도에 영향을 미치는 요인으로는 성별, 한국드라마 시청시간, 한국드라마에 대한 평가, K-POP 청취기간, K-POP 평가가 나타났으며, 한류에 대한 호감도의 경우, 인구통계학적 속성의 영향력은 나타나지 않았고 한국드라마의 시청기간, 한국드라마에 대한 평가, K-POP의 평가가 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 특히 한국 드라마와 K-POP의 내용상의 평가가 한국과 한류에 대한 호감도에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 예측 변인으로 나타나, 이는 향후 한류 콘텐츠 제작에 있어 한류 스타에 의존하기 보다는 내실 강화의 필요성을 강조하는 실무적 함의를 제공한다. 또한 드라마의 시청행위와 드라마에 대한 평가를 통제했을 때에도 K-POP에 대한 평가가 한국과 한류에 대한 호감도에 영향을 미치는 유의미한 변인으로 나타났다. 이를 통해서 K-POP은 한국 드라마와 같이 한류를 대표하며 한국과 한류에 대한 긍정적 이미지를 형성하고 있음을 알 수 있다. 또한 한국 드라마의 강력한 영향력에도 불구하고 중국에서 한류의 중심이 K-POP으로 변화하고 있음을 시사한다.

This study aims to provide basic information that would be useful to develop more specialized fashion design products for launching Korean Wave fashion, especially in Singapore market where Korean Wave culture has been expanding significantly. To identify recognition level of Korean Wave fashion, customer survey was conducted to females in their late 10s to early 20s. The analysis on the current fashion market also was made, which showed the result that the elegant style was dominant in the local fashion market. According to the customer survey result, K-pop was the most influential on Korean Wave. Amongst the female K-pop stars, 2NE1 was ranked the first who most of those surveyed wanted to copy her fashion style, and the ranking followed by Girl's Generation and BoA. With this result, it would be recommended to reflect K-pop star's style in designing fashion products as design and style turned out to be the most important factors that those surveyed considered upon clothing purchase. However, there should be various promotion activities in order to make Korea fashion brands known to the public because only 24.6% of those surveyed responded that they were aware of Korean fashion brands launched in Singapore market. Nevertheless, as those respondents were willing to buy Korean fashion brand products, there would be plenty of potential to succeed in Singapore market if there would be continuous efforts to raise Korean brand awareness.
