5. School Of Performing Arts Seoul

SOPA is another famous one for its countless celebrity graduates. Girl’s Day‘s Hyeri and Suzy Bae made headlines for how perfect they looked in the uniform. Many call the uniform the “chick” uniform due to its color.

For the summer or spring uniform, you can wear just the shirt or a cardigan instead of the blazer. The stars-print tie was also popular as was the waist belt. Here’s OH MY GIRL‘s Arin in it.

Male students could layer a vest under their blazer in colder seasons. NCT‘s Mark suits the yellow so well.

6. Jeonju Arts High School

Taeyeon gave fans a treat when she went back to her family home and realized she could still fit into her old uniform.

In winter, the uniform total transforms in color scheme and style. The red and green tartan is a favorite of many Korean students. Doesn’t it look exactly like a girl group’s stage outfit?
