Halloween Tips from the Motherland

Halloween is almost upon us, and you know what that means -- costume time! Unfortunately, the selection of cheap costumes are rather limited in Korea, since Halloween is only celebrated at a handful of foreign elementary schools or night clubs in Hongdae and Itaewon. Without the option of any cheap French fry or muscle man costumes from the Goodwill, this year requires a bit more creativity.

Here's what you can do with a pair of fake glasses, clip-on devil horns or bunny ears from Partytopia (2500 won), a beanie, long hair, and some extra attitude.

"V-line Devil"














"Kawaii Bunny"














"Smart Bunny"














"Bunnicula"


















"깡페" (Korean Gangster)














"귀신" (Korean Ghost)














Here's a bonus "yupgi" vignette entitled, "The Devil's Influence."
Or, as HY calls it, "American 사이코."






































































사이 + 코 = Psycho
Get it?
