Sorry dude, your business plan will fail. I don't think you realize how often Koreans fix their hair in public.

Yeah, that looks like something out of a low budget sci-fi flick.

Actually, the concept is good. I don't see young women wearing them (too vain, and it'll mess up their hair) but what about all those ajoshies passed out of the street, or on the bus, or at their desk. And as we all know, vast hordes of ajumma don't give a damn how they look. So if marketed right it can be a successful product here, at least for a while. Only problem is the design. Who was the project manager - Homer Simpson?

If done right, all those passed out salarymen can be sleeping off their soju in comfort.

Also what's the point of providing Koreans with decadent Western concepts like pillows. Give them a flat and uncomfortable surface and they will lie down on it and fall asleep instantly.

What, you want to get all tanned and look like a peasant? Oh, you're a foreigner? Hmm, do you know about kimchi? You do? Is it too spicy for you?
