Reselling, an activity of purchasing high-scarcity products and selling them back at high prices, has gained popularity among those in their 20s and 30s in recent years. This study examines the resell activity process of the MZ generation using the online second-hand platform and its inherent meaning. Interviews with 15 participants in their 20s and 30s showed that respondents have four purchase stages: being influenced by social media, collecting and comparing information using various social media, purchasing efforts, and post-purchase behavior. The research derived three inherent meanings of resell activities: (1) means of self-presentation and differentiation, (2) confirmation of investment skills and aptitude to lead fashion trends, and (3) pleasure of consumption. Respondents indicated meeting self-satisfaction through public selfies on social media. In addition, they emphasized the empirical pleasure during the buying journey by collecting product information, comparing prices, and negotiating with buyers. Our findings confirm the spread of resell activities from minority groups to enthusiastic youth. This study is significant for focusing on fashion products that attract attention in the resell market and examining the respondents' consumption experiences from various perspectives.

This study examines factors that influence consumer behavior regarding the usage intentions and repurchasing behavior of counterfeits. Based on the Theory of Planned Behavior by Ajzen (1991), this study looks at the impact of attitude, subjective norm, perceived behavioral control, as well as the moral norm of consumers about intentions to use and repurchase counterfeits. An online survey was conducted on males and females over the age of 20 with previous experiences of purchasing counterfeits; subsequently, 209 responses were collected and analyzed. The covariance structure model was used to analyze the data in order to measure the factors that influence the usage of counterfeits and repurchasing behavior. The results show that attitude, subjective norm, and perceived behavioral control have significantly positive effects on usage intentions, while moral norm has a significantly negative effect on usage intentions. Usage intentions also have a significantly positive effect on repurchasing behavior and confirmed that usage intentions functions as the mediator. The variables that influence usage intentions are attitude, perceived behavioral control, moral norm, and subjective norm, in descending order. Consumer attitudes towards counterfeits is a major factor that influences usage intentions. Therefore, ethical problems should be emphasized to encourage a negative attitude towards counterfeits. This study identifies an important aspect to show that usage intentions toward counterfeits, and not purchasing intentions, influences repurchasing behavior. Findings are significant in that they reveal the role of the moral norm variable added to the TPB model.

This study examined differences in consumers' images of short-term income forest products, preference, willingness to pay prices and purchase behavior according to dietary lifestyle as well as investigated what factors influence the degree of satisfaction when purchasing short-term income forest products and willingness to repurchase. According to dietary lifestyle, the results classified consumers as 'frugal housewife type,' 'convenience-seeking type,' and 'food high-involvement type.' A 'food high-involvement group' is defined as a group that wants high quality products regardless of price. In the 'frugal housewife type,' country of origin and hygiene/safety (considered when purchasing food) had positive influences on the degree of satisfaction. In the 'convenience-seeking type,' country of origin (considered when purchasing food) had a positive influence on the degree of satisfaction while country of origin (checked when purchasing food) had a negative influence on degree of satisfaction. Consumers had a lack of perception for short-term income forest products; subsequently, short-term income forest products had a weakness of low access to consumers. Therefore, farms for short-term income forest products need to divide products into 'high-priced' luxury products and 'low-priced' frugal products according to dietary lifestyle characteristics, improve packaging status to enable consumers to check quality certificates, and clearly indicate country of origin as well as improve distribution processes and increase consumer access to products.

Life-style factors often include social relationships as well as consumption, entertainment and dress patterns. They also typically reflect an individual's attitudes, values and worldview. Life-style types have become and an important factor for segmenting customer markets ever since significant relationships between life-style and customers' behavior was proven. This study examined the relationships between the life-styles of young customers' and the important attributes of foodservice encounters. Factors analysis with VARIMAX and K-means cluster analysis were conducted to group the subjects by life-style. According to the factors analysis, four underlying dimensions were identified and labeled: (1) 'actively fashioned', (2) 'luxury picky', (3) 'healthy toward', and (4) 'utilitarian leisure'. Based on the factor scores derived from the factors analysis, the K-means cluster analysis classified three groups as statistically significant using ANOVA(p<0.05). The overall mean score for the 3rd cluster 'trendy-active picky' was higher than the other two clusters, and represented very picky attitudes about foodservice attributes. The 3rd cluster also seemed to apply higher standards to all of the foodservice attributes. By order of importance, the most important attributes of the 2nd cluster 'pursue-utilitarian leisure' were food serving time, automation systems, server's hygienes, employee kindness, time in line, and menu variety. In spite of low concerns for the life-style attributes, the first cluster 'passively indifferent' recognized menu variety, food sanitation, food serving time, server's hygiene, menu price, air circulation, and room temperature as important. These results suggest that young diners in Korea could be classified by their diverse life-styles that are represented as trendy, utilitarian, and indifferent and will hopefully contribute to the foodservice industry's ability to segment customer characteristics by different life-styles in Korea.

최근의 조사에 의하면 명품을 구매하는 소비자가 늘고 있다. 특히 2,30대의 젊은 소비자들은 강한 명품소유 욕구를 가지고 있어 본 연구는 20대의 소비성향에 대하여 이론적 토대를 마련하고자 하였으며, 이들 소비자를 대표하는 대학생들을 대상으로 명품에 대한 인식과 구매경험, 주로 구매하는 품목, 월 용돈수준 등을 조사하였다. 아울러 명품모방품에 대해서도 구매경험과 주 구매품목, 구매이유를 살펴봄으로써 명품 브랜드의 마케팅 전략 수립에 있어서 시사점을 제시하고자 하였다. 사회심리학적 관점에서 볼 때, 소비자들은 사회비교추구성향을 보이는데, 특히 젊은 세대는 상대적으로 통제감이나 자기효능감이 강하지 못하므로 주변의 분위기에 휩쓸린 과시소비에 쉽게 빠져들 가능성이 높아 명품에 대한 관심이 높을 수 있다. 또한 실증 조사 결과, 우리나라 대학생은 명품을 품질이 우수하거나 세계적으로 유명한 브랜드로 인식하고 있었다. 특히 남학생은 품질이 우수한 브랜드를, 여학생은 세계적으로 유명한 브랜드를 명품브랜드의 특성으로 꼽아 통계적으로 유의한 성별 차이를 보이고 있었다. 아울러 대부분의 응답자들은 명품브랜드를 구입한 경험이 있는데, 월 용돈이 많을수록 구입경험도 많았다. 응답자들이 구입한 품목은 패션용품, 의류, 시계/보석, 화장품/향수 등의 순이었고, 성별 및 용돈수준별로도 주요 구입품목이 차이를 보이고 있었다. 명품모방품의 구입경험자는 많지 않았으며, 주로 구입한 품목은 패션용품이었고 구입이유로는 가격대비 품질 및 경제적인 이유를 가장 많이 들고 있었다. 비교적 높은 용돈수준의 응답자들이 명품모방품 구입경험이 높은 점은 흥미롭다. 여학생은 남학생에 비해서 명품 및 모방품의 구매의도가 높았다. 학년별 명품 및 명품모방품의 구매의도는 모두 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았으나, 용돈에서는 흥미로운 점이 발견되었다. 즉, 명품의 구매의도는 용돈이 높을수록 증가하고 명품모방품의 경우는 그 반대였지만 특정 용돈수준에서는 높아서 비선형적(non-linear)인 트랜드를 보였다. 이는 명품모방품 구입경험 조사결과와도 맥락을 같이 한다. 하지만 이에 대한 정확한 해석을 위해서는 심층적인 후속 연구가 필요할 것이다. 본 연구는 명품의 마케팅전략 수립에 있어서 여러 가지 학문적, 실무적 시사점을 제공하고 있다.
