Default Forever 21 = korean clothes?!?

Not sure if this thread would go here but I realized everytime I go shopping at forever21, most of the clothing look korean.

I finally went on Wikipedia and the creator of the store IS Korean.
I'm sure of you already know that already....

Anyone else had the feeling they were shopping at a korean store?

I don't think they are really....."Korean", it's just the general style these days. They do have more variety of clothes compare brands like aero and abercrombie.

That's interesting. I didnt know the creator of the brand was korean, but when I think about it, it makes total sense. A lot of subtle colors and sophistication that resembles the fashion in korea. No wonder I like forever21 so much.

I've been shopping there for a few years and I never noticed that before. Maybe it's because I'm not very observant.
