Cultural Context
Koreans often perceive '수입 상품' (imported goods) as having higher quality or unique appeal, especially for luxury items, certain food products (like wine, cheese, or specific fruits), and fashion. The trend of '해외 직구' (hae-oe jik-gu, direct overseas purchase) is driven by consumers seeking imported goods not readily available domestically or to avoid local markups. While domestic products (국산품) are valued, the market for diverse imported goods remains strong.
