sighted and successfully caught one of these on my phone camera on Friday
night

apparently not uncommon amongst businessmen here - where it is known as a kind of managers bag

saturday spotted waygook carrying one, also noticed that the Diesel store in shinsegae are selling one

is this part of a global trend that i am oblivious to or is this appalling eighties throwback more popular here than i thought?

Very practical. Think about all the crap we often carry. Cell phone, phrasebook, map, novel to read on the subway, iPod, pens, keys, possibly a small digital camera, coins, etc..

I hate having stuff in my pockets. In the states, we typically have cars and don't spend time on subways etc.. so it's logical.

after that, you need to seriously style your hair and have no shame about holding hands and hugging men in public

A briefcase is nice.. but a pain in the ass to carry everywhere.. A suppose a suitcase does the job too..

Backpacks are everywhere.. same idea.

many briefcases are small, light, and compact - just as easy to carry around as a purse. or why not get a single-strapped messenger bag? i use one to carry my laptop and it's comfortable and less akward than carrying a huge backpack around.

i don't understand how any man has to resort to carrying a purse.

Itaewonguy and I saw a gangster carring -- and obviously flaunting -- his expensive-looking man-bag. Certainly, it was full of cash. He was flanked by four other men in suits.

I have a small North Face bag/purse like thing that I use. I put my camera, mp3 player, a book and sometimes my PSP in there and it's great. No reason to carry around a huge bag.
