Fancy a pair of Starbucks socks? I think not. But I'll take a pair with the purple-flower monkey. Cuteness is definitely a prominent aspect of Korean fashion culture and it's not exclusive to kids - I've seen busy business men wearing cutesy ties and many fashion girls with cutesy hair bobbles. I'm guessing there are lots of funny socks hiding in people's shoes here.
It's common to find random sock trucks parked in different neighbourhoods. The sign on this truck advertises socks for 500Won - that's only 50 cents! No more excuses for ugly, smelly or holey socks.

On the same street corner you can buy socks, organic milk and slushies.
Perhaps a bit odd but definitely convenient.
