I think a lot of the cheap t-shirts and typical Korean clothing that passes through the markets is made here though. The stuff can be produced and retailed fast. A few years ago I remember seeing lots of small sweatshop operations in the neighborhoods surrounding Dongdaemun.

I think some Koreans are deliberately putting mispelt words on shirts as part of a big pisstake. Serioulsy, how could they get it so wrong so often. Even with the word English?

I've been trying to find some Engrish shirts but most of the ones I see are for girls. I'd like to get one that's got paragraphs of nonsense, like the ones the college guys wear on the train.

Does anyone know where I can find them?
