From my understanding lots of asian cultures care about saving face or appearing a certain way. I hear the same about China, Japan and some nations in Southeast asia. For it to be the widespread I would think it's more cultural than capitalism.

@@arlecchino248 While Rolex watches can appreciate in value over time, considering them as investments is not practical. They're seen as luxury items, purchased for their craftsmanship, history, and status rather than financial assets.

Yeah owning one expensive better quality item that lasts many years is more cost effective and satisfying than buying and replacing multiple items of mediocre quality.
@@hakkimin7453can you recommend any good thrift shops or flea markets? I bought some affordable vintage pieces in Busan, but the thrifting scene in Hongdae was super expensive and disappointing =/ I feel like Korea would be a mecca for used goods❤
Luxury brands are not aimed at the Rich, their biggest aim is the middle class and people who want to appear rich. That’s why all your favorite celebrities and influencers are brand ambassadors. Usually when they wear those items they never buy them but are usually gifted them to show off
High value individuals never have to explain they are high value. If you explain to someone that you are high value, you are not high value because you are not confident enough in your value to speak for itself. So if you have a luxury item, you are not confident in your own value, so you buy something to convince others you have value. I dress sharply as I have been since my mid-20s. I refuse to have clothes with logos on them. The amount of attention I get in Korea is astounding. I recently went to a wedding in Korea, and someone I knew of, but never spoke to prior, was fan-girling over me. She lept out of her chair to greet me even thigh she never said hello to me before. I didn't need to look around the room to know I was the best dressed in the room. I prepared and knew before I got to the venue that I would be the best dressed. The bride's mother had respect for me and how I dressed with such respect for her daughter's wedding. A few days ago I was walking after my run (sweaty as can be) and a woman came up and asked me for my number and asked why when I shook my head. How you carry yourself has a bigger impact on others than what you are carrying.
@@KBowWow75 exactly!! Being a high value individual is definitely more about how you carry yourself and you’re attitude towards other people. I think people get so lost in trying to fit in, and buying brand name items that they forget that an easy way to gain respect is to just have the right attitude and mindset. Dressing sharply does definitely help but your wardrobe doesn’t have to cost you an arm and a leg. People should respect you for the person you are not the value of stuff you own!
If they only aim at the 1% they probably wouldn't have enough customers 😂. The ultimate rich people flex their cars, mansions and cruises bags are normal for them.
Sorry to say that's she's so wrong. It's because she buys expensive things all the time that she doesn't realise she's paying for just the brand. Just because it's cheaper doesn't mean it's bad. Most "expensive" things come from the exact same factory as the cheap stuff, just in different packaging and branding.
So true! and I really don’t know who says shit like that. You have to look properly? I promise you will find the same items or even better ones. it’s just a name nothing more ! I really don’t understand the whole hype on these fashion designer brands
@@thatbitchhh5283 I went shopping in the subway of Incheon in Korea and I found 10x better clothes than in the actual department store. And guess what, it was cheap as f.
Indian stores in the US sell a set of 6 22karat gold bangles for the same price as ONE 18 karat cartier bangle bracelet. People who buy these only care about brand name.
@@shemac1482indians are asians too. But generally they do not obsess over luxury stuff neither do they show off how much money they have. Infact when indians obsess over luxury stuff it becomes cheap in india. Look at Iphone. Like literally even a tea stall owner has the latest iphone. Zara, h&m, mercedes are not even too luxurious in mumbai and delhi atleast.
It’s damn toxic to have a society who kept looking out or judge others based on how they look and what they wear. No wonder the high numbers of suicides and depression cmg from this community. Just be grateful and thankful that u r still breathing and there are ppl who still love and care for u irregardless on how or what u wear. ❤
As a Korean AMERICAN, I’ve seen way too many extended family members and immigrants spending way outside their budget for luxury items and cars. Sad as FUCK imo. I get wanting to treat yourself once in a while but it really shows what we value as a society. Hate to generalize but Koreans are straying away from the traditional values that helped turn our history around and putting too much stock into bullshit
They got corrupted by Western capitalism and materialism, and brainwashed with Western ChristInsanity. Just like North Koreans got brainwashed with Russian Marxism.
Lowest birthrate for a reason. Everyone complains about the cost of things being the reason, but walking around with luxury items will make real estate companies think you can afford housing, so they jack the rates up. It's only common sense.
I have heard it’s normal for Neely rich societies! You can also find this kind of consumer behavior in East Europe. Other rich countries, such as Western European countries.
I think it’s completely find as long as you have the funds and aren’t blowing your whole money. A lot of people need to get their priorities straight. If you can’t pay the bills on time, and if you set aside savings you can’t afford it.
I like how honest she is about the reason why! But i think its kinda part of korean culture knowing how particular they are how they look on the outside.😊
As toxic as the society is, they're pretty honest and will say it to your face. West is more hypocritical with all the fake positivity and lying to people's face so as to not hurt their feelings.
I’m the opposite. I’m Indian and we are cheap. We like a bargain. I like two for one deal. I shop at target, and if I want something more quality I go to myers ( Australian department store), I try buy stuff that are on sale. Even if I had a million, I wouldn’t buy Gucci or Rolex… waste of money. And I don’t give a damn what other people think. In My group of friends, it’s an accomplishment to buy something on big sale that cost us just $10-20, yet still looks classy and expensive.
You got a bad response, so I will comment and say YES! omg, I don't know the interviewer's story, but if he was not born ans raised in Korea, then his language level is truly an achievement.
She is so honest with pride. This is sad truth about Korean mentality about luxury, they mostly think about what other think about them, showing off, that the reason K-pop shouldn’t sponsor luxury until or unless they are 5 year old group with all adult. Feel sad for people who can’t effort & look down at by there peer and friends
@@Isabella1680 I heard in Dive interview that luxury brand target are Korea because the amount the luxury product sell there is higher than any other country and people of Korea like to flex & mostly go with trend,they think it’s good thing which is opposite & even the middle grade school kids get bullied if they don’t wear on trend brand stuff which can be padded jacket in winter, shoe & backpacks. Which is kinda crazy.
@@herseykcameron7013You can see asian countries like korea or japan have low self esteem.They tend to look good with everything.How they evolved like that will be their reasons.I sometimes like their cultures at same time feel there is wrong in their society how representation works.
I Love BTS!(don't show your teeth @ me, you will swallow them🤨)they Sponsor Brands. If it's like in the US( Idk), Brands direct their attention towards celebrities and sports figures to have a "huge market demand." They know people,because of "trending," will buy their products because of their favorite celebrity(s)/ sport figures "wear them." The Brands give them free clothing and pay them to wear them( or whatever contract they decide in regards to this). 🦊🐾🌅🌺🦋🦩
You know, in the country I reside in, we call this a "Marken-Opfer", which, if you translate it literally, means "branding victim". Expensive doesn't always mean good quality, my dears.
@@willa9880 According to my Korean Colleague(s). Its taxing to constantly think about status, and takes a mental toll. Unless you live in rural Korea, the culture is dare I say "Show Offy"
As a Korean, I never understood why many people like to buy luxury brand stuffs. Even they wear those, they don't naturally look rich to me. And most of the people I know who buys those luxury items, in reality, were not richer than me. Real rich people, even in Korea, don't show off by buying those stuffs. Really rich people wear like Mark Zuckerberg. They don't like to show off, and rather hide it because you can become a target if you look rich.
I live in Korea and I can tell you that you often see people here wearing luxury items. However that doesnt mean that all those people are actually rich. Its actually quite the opposite. I know plenty of people who got themselves indebted solely so that they can buy designer stuff. It's common here for people to pay off the price for those items in monthly installments. Its all just make-believe. People just want to appear rich because the Korean society favors the rich and beautiful. Actually it's kind of sad. People here need to learn that your worth as a human doesn't depend on the things you can afford.
This comment is underrated... There are several rich people who don't see the need to flaunt it and many people who aren't that get caught up in chasing trends and attention. It's not to dissimilar to the competitive nature around studying and being a top student etc. However, there are plenty of people who also don't care and they are the happiest, even if a large part of the society might not think so. The hyper competitive nature in Korea is what has helped them to thrive in terms of national development, but at what cost.. The suicide rate needs to be addressed and priorities reassessed. Apart from that, they are some of the friendliest and polite people around.
@@chafiqbantla1816everyone cares in varying extents and about different things. In other countries the majority do not care what brand you are wearing all that much. Not to the extent the woman is portraying in this video.
@valentinaci7888 lol, most of them are using credit cards, not because they can afford it. Do you know south Korean mostly are in debt with their credit cards?
Self satisfaction comes from within. You can be rich and still not have it and someone else could be poor and be happy and satisfied with what they got :)
That’s why I love living here in Europe. People here don’t care what you wear. I can look hobo with no judgemental gaze around. I can send my son to school with a just woke up look. 😂
@@usernameryan5982 hi, I live in Amsterdam Netherlands. Yes, you are right that most people here dress nicer but the difference compared to Asia is they don't care. People here don't matter the brand of clothes/ accessories you wear. People here respect you not because of the clothes you wear but of how you behave as a person. In Asia, they can easily judge you. Some people might think you're a theft/ drug addict because you look like one, not in behavior but because of the clothes you put. You will be snub in a high end store just because you don't look classy. And even you wear an expensive watch, they will think right away it's fake just because you don't look neat.
@@AnnMarjorie05 the Netherlands sounds like a very nice society. People seem very polite and their cities are very well designed. I love the architecture and the public transportation systems they have. No wonder with what you mentioned that they have the happiest children in the world!

Haha, it’s just a weak justification for a cost-ineffective purchase My parents follow the same reasoning of don’t buy cheap stuff that you will need to replace in a couple of days but there are different watches in the $100s range or far cheaper that are nice and work well
@@whispr_2MEwell they do last longer then smart watch. And they are most likely a collection for a lot of people but they are people that still use it just looking at time.
Korean society all about competition , show off and jealousy. I don't think so they are happy in this way. whatever. I am happy as long as my parents are with me. 😊
They way he speaks in Korean is so nice just the tone of his voice in general. Idk im used to street interview people bejng a little rude or obnoxious and he is so respectful and collected
looks are very important for koreans. i heard a lot of stories about people visiting their country and the koreans would literally approach them and comment about how bad their outfits look
Hard to believe. Not that they don’t comment on others’ outfits, I mean approaching “random strangers” to comment on their looks is very unkorean to me.
The first reason she gave is complete bs. Luxury items are not cost effective. In fact if you're buying items that are 15k and upwards I can safely say that even if I have to spend my whole life buying cheap items, like watches, for example, and even if they break and need to be replaced periodically I still won't spend anything near 15k on all of those cheap watches in my entire lifetime. Plus fashion trends change and items wear off, even if they're higher quality, so there's no way that lady is going to spend her entire life with only one hermes bag, she's gonna buy more than one. And the debt just piles up. Moreover, there are plenty of unexpensive brands that offer durable goods in quality that surpasses even luxury brands'. I hope no one gets tricked by that lady's faulty logic.
well said, i was thinking the same thing. i can think of so many brands which are lower than mid range and offer extremely great quality especially for the price. That i would no way call luxury goods cost effective myself, i think this lady is deluding herself on purpose to excuse herself from these expensive purchases and feel good about it in the practical sense.
to make a few, if only watches are concerned, then I prefer the Indian brand titan, they’re pretty affordable and long lasting, there is also Fossil and Guess which have a great bandwidth in terms of range and features, I bought my guess is watch for around 150 dollars or 12k in Indian rupees and haven’t looked back, If i was going to buy a rolex i would think of it as an investment rather than cost effective since i know they appreciate later on. In terms of bags i’m pretty frugal, anything less than 15 dollars for a bag that’ll last me 3 years easily
shes right in some ways but not in the sense that its worth spending 15k on a watch. I do agree that sometimes better quality is worth paying for. But not that much lol. For example, I would rather buy one nice pair of levi's jeans for $80 that I can wear for years than a pair of shein jeans that start fraying after a few washes. I think her logic works but not for extreme prices like the ones that she memtioned
@@oceana311exactly. People who buy extremely expensive items use the “it’s more cost effective” reason to try and justify the superficiality. In reality, those items are priced 100x more than what it costs to make them and has no bearing on their quality at all. It’s just that expensive because of the brand name. There’s a reasonable difference between spending a bit more money on quality items and spending an exorbitant amount on something of the same quality.
I thank God everyday for not making me bothered about luxury items. If you can afford it and it's your thing, do you. But, I think it's absolutely insane how some people will get into debt to essentially show off to people, who don't even help you pay your bills.
This is a great real-life conversation example for Korean learners. The conversation has a more natural flow than the standard textbook dialogues, plus her reasoning, grammar and pronunciation are crystal clear.
@ceriselouisa The only reason you can say that is because you've already covered the basic shit on those textbooks so now you're ready to understand low-stakes, natural interactions.
Actually, no, I did precisely the opposite. I learnt Korean initially through immersion in Korean culture from 2009 onwards. I only experienced Korean language textbooks when I signed up for the TOPIK test after several years of being an autodidact @@UnShredded
Sad but true! And what is even more sad is that South Koreans are not necessarily happier than the North! It has one of the highest suicide rates in the world
Essentially cost effective for her since she values it and will keep wearing it for a long time. Not related to starving children lol, I don't buy nice things and think of other people's situation.
Thirty years ago I bought my dream TAG Heuer. No where near a Rolex. I’ve paid $50 for batteries and it’s been cleaned and overhauled a few times, about $300 each time.
As an Indian I NEVER in my life met someone who wore ANY ONE of those luxury brands. It's not bcs we can't afford it. It more like we prefer buying a lot of clothes or accessories at a cheaper rate than expensive ones. The most expensive item I own is a shoes that worth 6000 rs and I am scared to wear it. I've only wore it twice or thrice in 2 years. And moreover here nobody's gonna judge you based on the cost of the outfit you wear. I must say living in Korea is really difficult.
This is real about them. I’ve seen it first-hand when shopping with friends overseas. They put a lot of energy on how they are perceived by others. It’s very important to them to look the part. It makes perfect sense to my friends, but not to me. I think it’s insecurity, but I don’t know why. My friends are gorgeous. It’s their thing. Everyone has a thing.
most important quality,like buying refrigerator ,cause need to use for a long time need to buy with good quality and expensives. But like bag ,etc no need to be too expensive cause cheap bag also have quality.Just need to search .
Good advice : Don't talk about your wife negatively online as you'll cause issues. It's disrespectful. What do you think if she talks negative about you online?
It is legitimately scary how she has no expression when she laughs. A state of happiness and joy for life usually is so prevalent in a person’s expression when they smile/laugh. Like her face hardly moved and that laugh sounded almost robotic. Wake up world, if you are in a position of power or wealth, I personally feel that it is your responsibility to do something impactful and purposeful with that type of advantage in life
That`s one of the negative points in Korea, they care too much about what people think and that is one of the things that lead to most social issues there. That`s actually sad.
I have never watched any videos from this creator, but the interviewer’s voice is so sweet-sounding. It reminds me of a gentle teacher that all the kindergarteners adore.
Exactly. Seoul is one of the rare places where you can actually wear and carry luxury items without the stress of getting robbed. In U.S., I tend to wear status neutral clothes to avoid robbers and unwanted attention.
@@KBowWow75 I definitely Agree with you, there. Jesus is the "main example " to follow. He was Always, loving and kind. He was perfect, we're not. However, we can do the best that we humanly can and God Himself, see that effort. That is why His Son, Jesus came to the Earth to tell us the Truth( John 8:32). Anyway, I care about people but I don't back down to mean people, either. Sometimes, it's just best to say or not to say and Walk away. Not being Self -Righteous either( that's a sin). 🦊🐾🌅🦋🌺
One can look expensive with cheap accessories and clothes. You just have to have a good test and know how dress up. Save that money to buy a house and support family.
And inexpensive doesn't mean cheap. Shopping out of seaon on clearance, sales racks and shopping thrift shops are the best way to acquire qualities items inexpensively.

That's the lie she tells herself to convince herself she needs to spend $15k in stuff she doesn't need.
That gentleman speaking Korean..is the bigger flex even over that rolex.....very impressive !!!!❤
Sorry to say that's she's so wrong. It's because she buys expensive things all the time that she doesn't realise she's paying for just the brand. Just because it's cheaper doesn't mean it's bad. Most "expensive" things come from the exact same factory as the cheap stuff, just in different packaging and branding.
True!
So true! and I really don’t know who says shit like that. You have to look properly? I promise you will find the same items or even better ones. it’s just a name nothing more ! I really don’t understand the whole hype on these fashion designer brands

This is so true!

@@eurika297 yeah, insecure society is his point.
As a Korean AMERICAN, I’ve seen way too many extended family members and immigrants spending way outside their budget for luxury items and cars. Sad as FUCK imo. I get wanting to treat yourself once in a while but it really shows what we value as a society. Hate to generalize but Koreans are straying away from the traditional values that helped turn our history around and putting too much stock into bullshit
They got corrupted by Western capitalism and materialism, and brainwashed with Western ChristInsanity. Just like North Koreans got brainwashed with Russian Marxism.
Lowest birthrate for a reason. Everyone complains about the cost of things being the reason, but walking around with luxury items will make real estate companies think you can afford housing, so they jack the rates up. It's only common sense.
I have heard it’s normal for Neely rich societies! You can also find this kind of consumer behavior in East Europe. Other rich countries, such as Western European countries.
I think it’s completely find as long as you have the funds and aren’t blowing your whole money. A lot of people need to get their priorities straight. If you can’t pay the bills on time, and if you set aside savings you can’t afford it.
Sounds just like America
I like how honest she is about the reason why! But i think its kinda part of korean culture knowing how particular they are how they look on the outside.😊
As toxic as the society is, they're pretty honest and will say it to your face. West is more hypocritical with all the fake positivity and lying to people's face so as to not hurt their feelings.
I’m the opposite. I’m Indian and we are cheap. We like a bargain. I like two for one deal. I shop at target, and if I want something more quality I go to myers ( Australian department store), I try buy stuff that are on sale. Even if I had a million, I wouldn’t buy Gucci or Rolex… waste of money. And I don’t give a damn what other people think. In My group of friends, it’s an accomplishment to buy something on big sale that cost us just $10-20, yet still looks classy and expensive.
Can we just talk about how amazing his Korean was.
You got a bad response, so I will comment and say YES! omg, I don't know the interviewer's story, but if he was not born ans raised in Korea, then his language level is truly an achievement.

She is so honest with pride. This is sad truth about Korean mentality about luxury, they mostly think about what other think about them, showing off, that the reason K-pop shouldn’t sponsor luxury until or unless they are 5 year old group with all adult. Feel sad for people who can’t effort & look down at by there peer and friends
personally I think they shouldn't at all be luxury brand ambassadors.
@@Isabella1680 I heard in Dive interview that luxury brand target are Korea because the amount the luxury product sell there is higher than any other country and people of Korea like to flex & mostly go with trend,they think it’s good thing which is opposite & even the middle grade school kids get bullied if they don’t wear on trend brand stuff which can be padded jacket in winter, shoe & backpacks.

As a Korean, I never understood why many people like to buy luxury brand stuffs. Even they wear those, they don't naturally look rich to me. And most of the people I know who buys those luxury items, in reality, were not richer than me.
Real rich people, even in Korea, don't show off by buying those stuffs. Really rich people wear like Mark Zuckerberg. They don't like to show off, and rather hide it because you can become a target if you look rich.
Buying expensive products is not enough to help with self esteem.
Perfect customer.
Perfect citizen.
Perfect simp.
Spends her money for things she doesn't need for impressing people she doesn't know.

I live in Korea and I can tell you that you often see people here wearing luxury items. However that doesnt mean that all those people are actually rich. Its actually quite the opposite. I know plenty of people who got themselves indebted solely so that they can buy designer stuff. It's common here for people to pay off the price for those items in monthly installments. Its all just make-believe. People just want to appear rich because the Korean society favors the rich and beautiful. Actually it's kind of sad. People here need to learn that your worth as a human doesn't depend on the things you can afford.
I'd go to China and buy fake designer things 😂😂😂
This comment is underrated... There are several rich people who don't see the need to flaunt it and many people who aren't that get caught up in chasing trends and attention.
It's not to dissimilar to the competitive nature around studying and being a top student etc.
However, there are plenty of people who also don't care and they are the happiest, even if a large part of the society might not think so.
The hyper competitive nature in Korea is what has helped them to thrive in terms of national development, but at what cost.. The suicide rate needs to be addressed and priorities reassessed. Apart from that, they are some of the friendliest and polite people around.
It’s the same everywhere in the world but of course that doesn’t mean everyone buys into it
If you're rich, you don't need to show other people😂 In fact, it's better that other people aren't aware...
America is the same the poorest people have the most luxury brands on them my aunt is worth like 20 million and still drives a 2005 corolla
So first is a bs excuse. The 2nd one is where its at. She buys it because ,like so many in SK, she cares too much what others think of her.
And because she can afford it😊
Everybody cares,but its not political correct to admit that
@@chafiqbantla1816everyone cares in varying extents and about different things. In other countries the majority do not care what brand you are wearing all that much. Not to the extent the woman is portraying in this video.
That is your opinion. There are high quality items from designer brands and sometimes, they can be bought on sale.
@valentinaci7888 lol, most of them are using credit cards, not because they can afford it. Do you know south Korean mostly are in debt with their credit cards?

@@usernameryan5982 hi, I live in Amsterdam Netherlands. Yes, you are right that most people here dress nicer but the difference compared to Asia is they don't care. People here don't matter the brand of clothes/ accessories you wear. People here respect you not because of the clothes you wear but of how you behave as a person.
In Asia, they can easily judge you. Some people might think you're a theft/ drug addict because you look like one, not in behavior but because of the clothes you put. You will be snub in a high end store just because you don't look classy. And even you wear an expensive watch, they will think right away it's fake just because you don't look neat.
@@AnnMarjorie05 the Netherlands sounds like a very nice society. People seem very polite and their cities are very well designed. I love the architecture and the public transportation systems they have. No wonder with what you mentioned that they have the happiest children in the world!

Haha, it’s just a weak justification for a cost-ineffective purchase

I love that she explained exactly why she SHOULDN'T be buying those things. 🗿
looks are very important for koreans. i heard a lot of stories about people visiting their country and the koreans would literally approach them and comment about how bad their outfits look
everyone's a fashion police!!
Hard to believe. Not that they don’t comment on others’ outfits, I mean approaching “random strangers” to comment on their looks is very unkorean to me.
I dont care about luxury, life is hard as it is.
The first reason she gave is complete bs. Luxury items are not cost effective. In fact if you're buying items that are 15k and upwards I can safely say that even if I have to spend my whole life buying cheap items, like watches, for example, and even if they break and need to be replaced periodically I still won't spend anything near 15k on all of those cheap watches in my entire lifetime. Plus fashion trends change and items wear off, even if they're higher quality, so there's no way that lady is going to spend her entire life with only one hermes bag, she's gonna buy more than one. And the debt just piles up. Moreover, there are plenty of unexpensive brands that offer durable goods in quality that surpasses even luxury brands'. I hope no one gets tricked by that lady's faulty logic.
well said, i was thinking the same thing. i can think of so many brands which are lower than mid range and offer extremely great quality especially for the price. That i would no way call luxury goods cost effective myself, i think this lady is deluding herself on purpose to excuse herself from these expensive purchases and feel good about it in the practical sense.
to make a few, if only watches are concerned, then I prefer the Indian brand titan, they’re pretty affordable and long lasting, there is also Fossil and Guess which have a great bandwidth in terms of range and features, I bought my guess is watch for around 150 dollars or 12k in Indian rupees and haven’t looked back, If i was going to buy a rolex i would think of it as an investment rather than cost effective since i know they appreciate later on. In terms of bags i’m pretty frugal, anything less than 15 dollars for a bag that’ll last me 3 years easily
shes right in some ways but not in the sense that its worth spending 15k on a watch. I do agree that sometimes better quality is worth paying for. But not that much lol. For example, I would rather buy one nice pair of levi's jeans for $80 that I can wear for years than a pair of shein jeans that start fraying after a few washes. I think her logic works but not for extreme prices like the ones that she memtioned
@@oceana311exactly. People who buy extremely expensive items use the “it’s more cost effective” reason to try and justify the superficiality. In reality, those items are priced 100x more than what it costs to make them and has no bearing on their quality at all. It’s just that expensive because of the brand name. There’s a reasonable difference between spending a bit more money on quality items and spending an exorbitant amount on something of the same quality.
Trueeeee
I could never survive in a superficial society like this because I really don't care too much about appearances.
Very toxic society on this point.
Your Korean is way too good man,a round of applause for you👏
I thank God everyday for not making me bothered about luxury items. If you can afford it and it's your thing, do you. But, I think it's absolutely insane how some people will get into debt to essentially show off to people, who don't even help you pay your bills.
its about showing status people who do these are mostly rich and they see those amounts as very low

"They're cost effective". In a world where children still die of malnutrition, a 15000$+ Rolex is never gonna be cost effective.

Essentially cost effective for her since she values it and will keep wearing it for a long time. Not related to starving children lol, I don't buy nice things and think of other people's situation.
What are you doing for the children dying ?
They don't have those in South Korea
Thirty years ago I bought my dream TAG Heuer. No where near a Rolex. I’ve paid $50 for batteries and it’s been cleaned and overhauled a few times, about $300 each time.
In simple words “just to satisfy the SOCIETY” 🤷🏻♀️
As an Indian I NEVER in my life met someone who wore ANY ONE of those luxury brands. It's not bcs we can't afford it. It more like we prefer buying a lot of clothes or accessories at a cheaper rate than expensive ones. The most expensive item I own is a shoes that worth 6000 rs and I am scared to wear it. I've only wore it twice or thrice in 2 years. And moreover here nobody's gonna judge you based on the cost of the outfit you wear. I must say living in Korea is really difficult.
This is real about them. I’ve seen it first-hand when shopping with friends overseas. They put a lot of energy on how they are perceived by others. It’s very important to them to look the part. It makes perfect sense to my friends, but not to me. I think it’s insecurity, but I don’t know why. My friends are gorgeous. It’s their thing. Everyone has a thing.
My wife has the same problem. Always thinks something is better just because it’s expensive, which is not always true.
most important quality,like buying refrigerator ,cause need to use for a long time need to buy with good quality and expensives.
But like bag ,etc no need to be too expensive cause cheap bag also have quality.Just need to search .
