Abstract
This study analyzed the factors determining fashion lifestyle of Uzbek students in Korea and their clothing purchasing behavior and attitudes towards Hallyu, the Korean image, satisfaction, preferences and purchasing intentions for Korean fashion according to fashion lifestyle. The data collected from 260 Uzbekistan students in Korea were subjected to factor analysis, cluster analysis, ANOVA, Duncan test, and ${\chi}^2$-test using SPSS 25.0. The results were as follows: 1) Fashion lifestyle was analyzed based on brand orientation, tradition, fashion, and personality. The fashion lifestyle group was classified as follows: brand, fashion/personality, traditional, and fashion passive. 2) The evaluation criteria for fashion products, information sources, and store selection criteria were varied among the four groups of fashion lifestyle. 3) The attitude toward Hallyu and Korean image, the satisfaction, preference, and purchasing intention of KFP varied significantly between the fashion lifestyle groups. 4) The demographics of fashion lifestyle groups showed significant differences in sex and residential status. These results can be used as a basis for fashion companies targeting markets for Uzbek people in their 20s.
