Consumption of faux fur is a part of ethical consumption, and is valuable in terms of protecting and caring for animals. The purpose of this study is to understand the meaning of consuming faux fur (i.e., characteristics of faux fur consumption and how consumers relate faux fur with ethical issues) from the perspective of consumer culture theory. Data were collected through semi-structured in-depth interviews with those who have purchased faux fur. Two overarching themes emerged in regards to consuming faux fur, altruistic and egoistic orientation. Regarding the altruistic orientation, participants were sympathetic to animals, and considered consumption as part of practicing social responsibility and ethics. Participants had concerns for animal rights and conflicts with others who consumed actual fur. They viewed faux fur as an alternative to actual fur. Regarding egoistic orientation, participants isolated themselves from ethical issues in order to be free from guilt. Despite the preference for actual fur, they compromised between their desire and social criticism. Furthermore, their intention was to pretend as if they were wearing actual fur or move onto a completely different style, and had a negative outlook on social change regarding the adoption of faux fur. The findings contribute to a better understanding of consumer culture of consuming faux fur. Further research on diverse aspects of ethical consumption is warranted.

국내 콘텐츠 산업의 성장과 함께 글로벌 시장으로써 중국 시장은 여전히 신흥 시장으로서 매력적이다. 그러나 지역적 차이 및 브랜드 태도에 영향을 주는 요인에 대한 연구가 부족하여 본 연구에서는 내향적 국제화와 글로벌 문화수용성을 이용하여 소비자의 글로벌 브랜드 태도에 영향을 주는 요인을 확인하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 중국 대도시의 소비자들을 대상으로 편의 표본 추출을 통해 샘플을 추출한 후 PLS를 활용하여 그 관계를 확인하고자 하였다. 연구 결과 소비자의 내향적 국제화 인식정도는 글로벌 문화 수용성에 영향을 미쳤으며 이는 다시 브랜드 태도 및 수용에 긍정적인 영향을 미친다는 사실을 파악할 수 있었다. 본 연구를 통하여 국내 기업이 신흥시장으로 진출하는데 있어서 지역의 내향적 국제화가 중요한 확인사항임을 파악할 수 있었으며 이는 상대적으로 국제화 감각이 높은 중국 연안 도시들이 여전히 글로벌 소비층으로서 주요한 타깃이 되고 있음을 시사하고 있다. 다만 본 연구에서는 중국 내륙까지 포함한 다양한 도시들에서 연구가 진행되지 못하여 향후 내륙 지역 간 소비자들의 비교 연구가 필요할 것으로 판단된다. 향후 국내의 콘텐츠 기업들은 신흥시장으로 진출 및 타깃 공략 전략을 수립하는데 있어서 지역의 내향적 국제화 개념을 활용하여야 함을 주장하는데 의의가 있다.
