Man Bags: South Korea

[xxxMelodyOfDawnxxx]

2:24 = another reason i'll be an english teacher in korea.

►you pick a random korean man on the street- he has epic hair

►pick another random korean man on the street- he's cute

►another random man- wearing stylish clothes

►another- he looks like he just walked out of JYPE

♥

and seriously, USA high school boys-

►either shave, or wash yer damn hair!!!

►sweats/basketball shorts/flip flops EVERY DAY is NOT attractive

►want a hot ass girl? maybe go work out too

[TheRivalConcept]

i dont know why it is "gay" i mean the bags are really masculen but if i saw a woman with such a bad i be like man that butch lol jkjk but seriously its a fucking bag u put stuff in it carry it and take stuff out and put it back in again, lol

[TheWoochick]

Dang, thats a lot of murses..

[zerihunnigatudamte]

same like china

[inLife2012]

Maybe it's just their culture, since every man up there has them then it's normal in their country. i don't see the problem... and thats not gay...

[cammicty]

It's the same way in Europe, duh only in America is there that he man image,,, I've seen this since the 80's! I've been traveling since then, and I'm from the USA!

[ichliebeBill4leben94]

I love MEN WHO ARE MEN ENOUGH TO WEAR PURSED FTW!!

[KingofKpop]

In U.S you'll get attack if you carry fashionable bag

[blackroseofpain1]

[shineeportal]

[emja3]

Weird, here in Europe you see these manbags too. You don't see them in the us? lol is the us the only country that doesn't have these manbags?

[bodingoji]

@emja3 in US you'll be considered as GAY FAG if you carry manbags lol

fucking Machos

[emja3]

@bodingoji Yet they all wear skinny jeans.. How ironic

[2HootHoot]

i think the man bags are more like satchels

[anyalify]

here in my country Chile you can see men with bags too it is very common, especially young men that doesn't mean they are gay it is very cute

[conejitoasesinoOG]

@anyalify Woo-hoo! Chileno shout out!

[anyalify]

[Hamptoncltn]

@BobLeKatt fail troll is fail

[IcePrincess642]

@BobLeKatt Wth is your problem?

[hobobanana6575]

wow get some fucking testosterone

[jakalanang1]

LOL, if u wanna know korean fashion just copy from american and japanese

[Aricas2081]

@jakalanang1 WTF lol This stupid bullshit

[richiestares]

I'm a straight male living in the city and I carry a bag with me almost every day. I'll carry my cell phone, laptop, wallet, keys, documents, resume's, books, a snack, maybe a water bottle. I'm sorry but I think backpacks are ugly and briefcases seem too professional. Plus my g/f will have me carry something for her and I don't mind.

[waterloohillpeace]

i hear taeyang

[pruthy1]

the last guy was hot.. :)

[MegUmIOwO]

0:28 I´ll be there- Taeyang hahaa

[ichiairob]

some of those just seem like messenger bags or briefcases not really man purse. I'll never find it attractive, or severely unattractive. Its their business. but all the ppl bashing American fashion can get over themselves.

[MsMidniteStar]

Here in the UK boys my age wear bags like :1:12 and wear it on their back like 1:14 but higher up their back... I have never seen in the other hand men/boys wearing or using handbags similar to women over here in the UK unless they have a buggy or something in which case they sling the bag on the buggy so I find it strange the men using the hand bags so casually like at 2:06...

:D

[crazydumb1234]

fashion for guys in america what they call it SWAG = sweatshirt, hangy jean, /sweatshirt,short ,long nike sucks

[Blissandbless1]

I hear this song on the background. "I'll be there~~"

Love that you like the fashion in korea:)))

[shylildude]

satchel is the accepted vernacular

[manonhill12]

mmmmmmmmmm lol yes carry mirror and makeup men do not carry hand bags unless they are gay

[WellDamn24]

I think that its becoming more acceptable in America also. I see guys here with messenger bags or soft briefcases.

[keke555788]

lol i just seen a kpop star that i liked with one.i was like watttt???

[lalalamusiclalalala]

@keke555788 Me too and I was like "whaaa??" (X

[keke555788]

@lalalamusiclalalala lol whos was yours?mine was kyuhyun. xD

[lalalamusiclalalala]

@keke555788 park jung min >_<

[keke555788]

@lalalamusiclalalala o im not even surprised he had one!lol hes such a diva! xD

[nostalgiamelancolia1]

people don't wear purse,they carry it.

[emeka1978]

skinny jeans and women bags go hand in hand.

[usmaniscrazy1]

i have a man bag, and i live in new york city, but in nyc every man also has a man bag, so its normal here, sometimes, if a man doesn't have a bag, he can be considered lame and unfashionble.

[DomoRocks44]

South Korea is awesome!!!!

[anubistiger]

You took many pictures of men with bags!! My goodness!

[sungminz]

I live in Southern California where public transportation is pretty much non existant. We all drive cars, therefore we dont need man purses, just put it in the car and take what you need. I can see why in Korea with so much great public transportation that you would need to carry some sort of bag (carry books, laptop, tablet, sweater, etc). So down here, if you got a man purse, its still kind of gay.. and If I had to, I'm using a backpack instead.

[treestar]

That random guy you took a picture with looks like he could be Choi Siwon's little brother! O.O cuuute~

[joe80dman]

Well, seeing that men have to carry more junk around with them; cell phones, ID's, documents, paper back novel, laptop, etc., maybe a satchel isn't such a bad idea.

[jtinalexandria]

Mags!!!

[Shinjita1]

It's not only korea, europe and other places are open minded about that... It's useful for them. Usually boys in a relationship make their girlfriend/woman to have some things of them in her purse... -.-

[beepnessz]

that random guy was adorable lol



[celticmoon88]

in america everythng is considered gay lol "omg thats a gay-ass phone""that movie was gay" "did you hear we are part of the 99%?....yea nigga.. thats GAY!" hell this comment is gay too

[Bonnieoceangreen]

@celticmoon88 man your comment made my day!! It's so true about the U.S.

[celticmoon88]

@Bonnieoceangreen eww why you liking a gay ass comment, you gay!lol jkjk

[beratio]

it's a MANS PURSE !!! lol bullshit them are the gay's who stil have to come out of the closet, a man's purse is a wallet

[halloween482]

@beratio hahhahahahahahahahaah omg your comment made me LMFAO !!!

[beratio]

@halloween482 thanks :P 

[TheCatsLastWord]

I still wouldn't let my boyfriend carry a bag around o-O..a laptop bag or bookbag is okay though lol...but a purse? Nah...I'm good. :D

[CookiesCanBeScary]

woah eyecandy :D

[Logicsupremacy]

If you see a few with murse youd thik they are gay. But when you see virtully everyone with one, its a fashion lol

[dilongnhong]

who think its gay is so stupids. and they nees to come in moution now.

[dilongnhong]

nice couple haha

[dilongnhong]

i live in Minnesota ( USA ) AND THESE guys fashion so boorish and so sucks. they don't know about fashion.

[smgbby]

HE IS CUTE!! lol is that a ciggarette in his hand?

[asianoutcast87]

Out of all the fashion cities in America, I've only found LA and NYC to match my fashion taste. I live in San Francisco, the place that is supposed to be most open for expression, and its very closed in reality. Because of the large homosexual population, anything that comes close to what I wear is automatically labeled gay. Ofc, I'm not, but I don't really care what ppl label me as. NYC is amazing. They have small shops that I would not be able to find anywhere else. LA is just hella accepting.

[jeffysbebe]

love ur bakground song :) Y kno after watching dramas & documentary about asian countries it doesn't shock me wen I see the guys with make up and murses lol which is kinda weird but it is wat it is!

[erocablok]

Yeah its gay use either a briefcase or backpack.

[miamivicepastels83]

murses....lmao girll....

[MEOW293]

asian men make everything look sexy!

[MEOW293]

now i know why murses a sexy! 1 :asians,2: their buts

[browneyes124337]

I love how neat and cute Korean guy dress, like models all around you! ^_-

[Mageeelovesfrank]

Haha I dont really mind guys with purses , but it's so funny XD

[surgerryy]

i am the proud carrier of a murse.

[booksmart8]

1:11 is that jyp lol

[noshills]

Hot

[2Banarne2]

LOL

[preteyes]

the bags in this slide show are no different then the bags I see on the subway in DC. Its more common in the US then you think. Now if I saw a man carrying a clutch then I would look at him sideways. lol

[Gansbourgh]

The random guy is so hotttttttttttttttt <3<3<3

[kimpulsiveness]

@Gansbourgh

That's the EXACT same thing I said when I saw that! Is it just me or does he have a bit of a resemblance to Siwon from Super Junior? :T

[Smiles4miles27]

LOL!!! I just returned from Korea on vacation and yes I did see a lot of men carrying bags and a lot of couples where the men carried the bags.

[emoXcore15]

lolll listening to Taeyang I'll Be there

[RobotChick1000]

I find the over the shoulder bags ok. Totes and small handled ones that require you to hold it in you hand or like a female is still a bit odd with me. But ok if it's a suitcase or more manly looking or if it's a grocery type tote :)

[ERGSEG]

A lot of men in europe carry murses too. 

[likgivitupitsme]

are u suuuurrreeee its a random guy??? i saw a heart opening up 2 u guys in the last pic(￣▽￣)ノ

[Mizzanonymousx]

TAAAAAAAAAAAAAEEYYANNGG <3 <3 <3

[OfDaHeeZy84]

Fashion in America sucks. I love the fashion from S.Korea, Japan, Hong Kong, and Europe. Hugs and kisses from Sugar Land, TX

[MsMannequinGirl]

@OfDaHeeZy84 yeah I love the fashion in the places you mentioned as well

[Ash2theB]

@OfDaHeeZy84 Come to Cali we have a lot man bags here especial at school(Santa Monica college) it 's a melting pot like my high school Fairfax on Roselle. My friend she's Korean she thinks it gay. . .but i say bags tells a lot about a person. . .

[gengsol]

OMG..THATS GUY U TAKING PIC TOGETHER IS SO SO CUTEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

CAN U INTRODUCE ME TO HIM LOL

[AaronRose24]

I actually wouldn't mind having one of those in the U.S. I like to carry around my laptop and artist books to draw and write. Just give me and nice graphic one! I'm down! Open-minded always wins!

[Adam8733]

Lol in USA they cal wear man bags/purse are gay? mostly Asian's guy like me is normal & a have must in every guys life & it important needs every day uses plus it trendy and the same time :) to be honest i have a lot i mean a lots purse,murse & bag (^__^) ,not just me but all my friends maybe its Asian guys style life XD,Btw~i m glad you change opinion toward man bag :) & u can accept & like wit it :)

[MsMannequinGirl]

@Adam8733 yes in the US it's considered by many to be gay...but I think it's practical..men carry many things too but also it is a part of fashion

[havefaith89]

Whoa the last guy looks tall

[MsMannequinGirl]

@havefaith89 yeah he was cause im tall and i was wearing heels

[havefaith89]

@MsMannequinGirl

how tall are you?

(hope you don't mind me asking lol)

[flashatizer]

Someone gave me a man bag for my birthday last year, I use it as my bag and school bag in one. I've become a mursese.

[MsMannequinGirl]

@flashatizer yay!

[flashatizer]

HAha love it. China is the same!

[ChrissyxIsxAxNutter]

Taeyaaaaangggg<333 lol sorry fangirl moment.

ps- YAY MAN PURSE!!!

[FIGHTFANNERD3]

your only into it because man with bags make money sad

[MsMannequinGirl]

@FIGHTFANNERD3 I make my own money which means I don't need a man's money...fyi most men wear man bags with nothing in it for the fashion :)

[FIGHTFANNERD3]

most man have bags idiot

[MsMannequinGirl]

@FIGHTFANNERD3 your name calling says more about you than it does me :)

[kimsuke101]

most of those i call messenger bags. I have a lot of messenger bags and I think it looks stylish...btw I'm not a man LOL

[AbatarTeacher]

BWWWAAAAAH!! I was there for most of these pics!! GOD JOB..... Dare I say NIC-UH!!!!

[teamr0ckit]

The guy at 2:27 is really cute. Did you give him your #? He does look pretty young though, like teenager young....yikes. Still cute tho :-)

[ExtendedStudent4Real]

Very cute video.

[MsMannequinGirl]

@ExtendedStudent4Real thanks!

[Heejinstar23]

they guy you are standing with is so cute!

[morbidprincess17]

I love murses! :) I asked my friend once why he always carried one and what was inside... he told me it was just a fashion statement and opened his bag for me to look inside. There was a pen, his wallet, and a scarf. LoL... But I think they look really good~~

[myonly7]

I really like the murse shown at 1:37. It's my second time checking out that bag. It looks good, and it matches well with the black coat and jean that the guy was wearing.

[RainyRaven]

Ooh that's good!! When I go somewhere with male friends I always end up as the camera carrier xD So let them take their own bags!

Love your pictures xD

[HoshikoSUKI]

GIRL!!! I've been here for 6 months and I STILL haven't gotten used to the murses, LOL!!! Some of the are OK, but there are some that are legit purses!!!! They have to be - the ones with the long straps are coo, but the shoulder bags . . . . not so sure . . . they look too much like tote bags/purses - just the other day, I saw this dude with a bigger bag than his girlfriend - and it was silver (shiny silver!!!!) I know it wasn't her's because she had her own and he was owning it, LOL

[sndanim]

i think it's a great idea! alot folks in europe are doing it. with todays' society as man u can't carry a bag around without having ur sexuality questioned, it's shocking.

Ahh well looking forward to more vids!!

Espesh the Four guys on ur list! hehe. I'm such a HUGE fan of urs :)

[kawaiikgirl]

hi I think it is cool that they carry a bag

I Love the music by the way

[kawaiikgirl]

hi I think it is cool that they carry a bag

[p00lman]

Man, you know, a year or two ago I wanted to do a documentary about this. I took a lot of pictures, but I felt wrong about uploading pictures I took of random people on the street. Maybe it'll manifest itself as a music video down the line . . . except I don't own any murses to use as props . . .

[EvannRachel]

One of these days I'm gonna give in and get a man bag. I'm already desensitized to it. Then, we we head back to the States, I'll get all kinds of funny looks. After that, it's holding hands with other guys .. then the transformation is complete!

[crazyhypergurl]

Reminds me of The Hangover. "It's not a purse! It's a satchel!"

I never really thought about man bags as purses, they don't look like purses to me they just like fashionable messenger bags for men. I used to love looking at the ones on YesStyle cause I thought they were kinda cool.

[MsMannequinGirl]

@crazyhypergurl I don't remember that part of the movie..I bet when I watch it again I'll catch it

[Fhenry]

the ones with the shoulder straps are quite popular in college my chinese male friend uses the strapless ones and it works for asian but a black guy with one is a nono lol maybe i'd use the strapless ones but only out of the country where people don't know me haha

[MsMannequinGirl]

@Fhenry hahaha I said the same thing about Ugg boots...I'll wear them in the snow here in Korea but not outside of Korea!

[phantomphantom18]

I personally think guys that wear Man Bags are sooooo hot. It shows that they are confident in themselves which is a major turn on.

[MsMannequinGirl]

@phantomphantom18 aghh me too!!!

[81numnum]

he is sooo cute!!! my god why are all the korean guys in ur video hott!!?? was he nice?

[MsMannequinGirl]

@81numnum yeah he was very nice..I interrupted his smoking session for a pic haha and he was just as cute if not cuter in person :D

[mandyX2000]

wow all i can say is that random guy is cute

[MsMannequinGirl]

@mandyX2000 i agree haha

[stephyleon07]

That is one fine random guy you got there ;) Super LOVE this video, wooooo!! Hahah ^^

Men have their necessities too so carrying a bag is a must! or they can carry mine and put their stuff in it ;) ;)

[MsMannequinGirl]

@stephyleon07 thanks! haha he was so cute..and I like his style

[TheLuvAnya]

I am telling you korean men, and their sense of style , not the manliner ,tight pants, and frilly/lacy shirts but, their corporate chic, and casual preppy style, has made me scoff, at men, who arnt that attentive on how they dress.

This is how, impressions, change your life.

I find myself, shopping online at Korean stores. I like how the women dress themselves too,stylish and chic. =)

[MsMannequinGirl]

@TheLuvAnya yeah women are very stylish and so are the men..especially in Seoul...style is very important

[roxanneworld11]

Great topic!...Here in the states I remember moments when men were ridiculed for rolling with a man-purse. Seems like a 'geographical' thing (how it's viewed by the majority of a culture) Nice for them to have an option to backpacks, briefcases & gym bags....(+ hey, hope you gave that darling your phone number!)

[MsMannequinGirl]

@roxanneworld11 haha unfortunately I didn't :( I'm trying to stick with guys in my town haha ..agh I should have given him my number :(

[ycgmr]

the last guy is DAMN cute !

[MsMannequinGirl]

@ycgmr agreed!!!

[lindahloveskpop]

smoker but a cutie ! he kinda looks/(reminds me) like Yunho

[MsMannequinGirl]

@lindahloveskpop yeah it sucks that he smokes..a lot of guys smoke here :( but yeah he was a cutie

[JamConcerned]

Picture 2:28 both of you look good together. so cute hee hee. Well here men use messenger bags or backpacks cause heaven forbid it is called a purse..

[MsMannequinGirl]

@JamConcerned hehe thanks..he was so cute

[demoanachica]

I dont know I dont think I would ever get used to that... what does a man have to carry around that isnt is his wallet?? hmmmmm APPLAUSE FOR TAEYOUNG

[charlycheer]

@demoanachica many things...camera, wallet, cellphone, eye drops and contact case, planner, keys..maybe a portfolio for work or like in Korea an umbrella for when it rains or snows...you name it, it's in the bag :)

[charlycheer]

@demoanachica ipod...haha i keep thinking of things...and just realized im sighned into my other channel lol

[kawaiinails]

LOL i love that u made a video about this

my korean friend carries a huge murse

and it has like nothing in it

he just carries it for fashion purposes

wahahaha

[MsMannequinGirl]

@kawaiinails hahaha that's funny...if I were a man i'd carry an empty murse too!

[roxanneworld11]

@kawaiinails: lol!

[KPopinRoK]

I love guys who wear man bags. My school has a lot of international students, so there's quite a few hotties walking around with them. ^^ I have no problem because it's not like they use frilly pink bags. Haha...The last guy you took a picture with is cute!

[MsMannequinGirl]

@KPopinRoK i know he's sooo cute!! aghh so many cute guys here!! Plus I was wearing heels and he was still slightly taller than me! I liked his style..and just the plain fact he was cute..lol...glad u like man bags :)
