Theme Hotel, Korean people call it “Love Hotel"


In Korea, we don’t have parties to enjoy binging, singing, and making love, things like that. We don’t have that kind of culture in Korea. Therefore, many unmarried couples have difficulty in dating because they live with their parents and siblings in a relatively small house and usually don’t have a car for drive. Therefore, the love hotel is very popular so that young couples can have their own space. You can have two options. You can stay for 3 to 5 hours or you can stay for one night at the price of $30 to $50. This kind of the hotel is only for sex of young couples. It is very exotic, pretty and decorated with different themes such as Indian, Chinese, Japanese and Egyptian mood. In addition, it has PDP, DVD players, computers, video games, private spa, and mini pool in there so you can enjoy various activities. Why not in the United States?

"Blue Club"..Hair Shop for only male




Blue Club (Hair shop for male)
Blue Club is a hair shop for only male where men like simple hair cut at the low price.
There are more than at least 2 hairdressers in there, so you don’t have to wait for a long time, and it takes less than 15 minutes. If you want to wash your hair, you can do it by yourselves, and use hair dryer, hair gel, and skin lotion things like that.
Unlike female, men who have short hair frequently go to the hair shop and they don’t want to spend too much time having their hair cut. This “Blue Club” is satisfying these customers’ needs at the charge of only $5.

As long as my hair is trim, I prefer to choose this hair shop which costs lower charge, and takes less time. I am sure that there are a lot of men who are with me in the United States.
Why not in the United States?

"BB cream" ... new foundation cream


Basically, BB cream is the abbreviation of “Blemish Balm” which was developed as an after treatment for those who got laser surgery on their skin in Germany. But surprisingly, this product is booming in Asia, especially in Korea and very popular among Korean celebrities.

This BB cream can be applied to moisturizing, soften your skin texture, and control excessive skin oil as well as diminishing wrinkles as the multiple foundation cream.
Korea is the 7th largest market in cosmetics and most Korean women are so into this BB cream. This is a critical clue that this product could be successful in other countries.
Why not in the United States?

“Sprinkles Cupcake”…Isn’t it cute?


As you already know about this store, it is located in Beverly Hills, LA and it is amazingly getting popularity because many celebrities, Oprah Winfrey and Tyra Banks are enjoying it. The store is selling different flavored cupcakes every day and special cakes on a certain celebration day. Among them, Red Velvet is most well known. In Korea, recently, one of the sexiest and fashionable entertainers, Yesel Han introduced the cupcake on a TV program which is one of the travel shows, so Korean women are so interested in the cupcake.
In these days, dessert cafés are booming in Korea, and most Korean women are reducing eating meals, instead, more enjoying a kind of dessert such as Waffles, ice-cream and coffee. And because of the TV series, “Sex and the City,” most Korean younger women are crazy about Brunch buffet restaurants. This is a way prettier and trendier women are doing and considered very snazzy in Korea.

Therefore, next promising item must be the cupcake in Korea, because Korean women saw Kalley and Miranda eating the cupcake together. This cupcake looks very cute, pretty and delicious. As many Korean women are always holding Starbuck coffee in their hands as a kind of stylish item which represents that “I am trendy, condescendingly,” this cupcake should be a shock in Korea. Why not in Korea?

Kim-Bop Paradise


In Korea, Gim-Bop Paradise is one of the most popular restaurants. There are two main menus in there. One is rice rolled in a dried laver which is called gimbop and the other one is ramen which is a Korean noodle. Gimbop is similar to rice rolls known as Japanese food which is made of various ingredients, but the distinct characteristic is that it is rolled in a dried laver. Ramen is a little spicier but tastier than Japanese noodle. This ramen brings flavor with Gimbop. If you are a smoker, and you smoke after eating gimbop and ramen, you could feel like being in Paradise. Korean smokers believe that the most delicious smoking must be right after having ramen.
This store sells around 50 different menus and its price is ranging from $1 to $4. This store has been booming since the economic recession was faced in Korea and people can have their meal at the price of only $1. In addition, Gim-Bop Paradise is famous among foreign traveler and visitors because its menus are relatively delicious compared to its low price.
In the western area of the United States, many Asian or Asian-American reside whose principal food is rice. People who want to eat rice such as rice rolls, sushi roll and thing like that should pay more $6 to $10. Mostly in the United States, Chinese food is considered a little cheap such as Panda Express. But the food is relatively greasy and oily so it is not appropriate for people who are interested in their health and diet. On the other hand, Korean gimbop and ramen is low calories, delicious and cheap.
Therefore, I think that this Gim-Bop Paradise could be successful in the USA market.
