Objectives: This study examined the perception of the vegan trend of millennials and their future needs. Methods: This study was conducted online from June 21, 2021, to July 15, 2021, targeting 425 adult men and women born between 1980 and 2000. The contents of the survey were divided into four categories: general information, awareness of vegetables, awareness of vegan trends, and future needs for vegan trends. Results: Most respondents recognized the importance of eating vegetables and perceived vegetarianism and veganism as a lifestyle. Regarding the perception of the vegan trend, the highest response rate was 'The vegan trend is to be satisfied with my life regardless of other people', while the lowest response rate was 'The vegan trend is only a temporary fad'. The reasons for purchasing vegan products with high response rates were 'interest in the earth and environment', 'protection of animal rights', and 'thinking about health'. The type of vegan product wanted in the future was delicious food, and convenience level was in the order of 'completely cooked', 'half-cooked', and 'pre-processed'. Among the sustainable vegetarian types that millennials responded, 'semi-vegetarian', which can consume most animal products excluding red meat, showed the highest response rate. Conclusions: The positive perceptions about vegetables are expected to increase. Efforts should be made to develop convenient meals using vegetables and provide reasonable prices to expand vegetable intake.

This study examines current trends and perceptions of veganism and vegan fashion in Korea, China, and the United States. Using big data tools Textom and Ucinet, we conducted cluster analysis between keywords. Further, frequency analysis using keyword extraction and CONCOR analysis obtained the following results. First, the nations' perceptions of veganism and vegan fashion differ significantly. Korea and the United States generally share a similar understanding of vegan fashion. Second, the industrial structures, such as products and businesses, impacted how Korea perceived veganism. Third, owing to its ongoing sociopolitical tensions, the United States views veganism as an ethical consumption method that ties into activism. In contrast, China views veganism as a healthy diet rather than a lifestyle and associates it with Buddhist vegetarianism. This perception is because of their religious history and culinary culture. Fundamentally, this study is meaningful for using big data to extract keywords related to vegan fashion in Korea, China, and the United States. This study deepens our understanding of vegan fashion by comparing perceptions across nations.

This study aims to analyze Instagram hashtags based on big data to investigate changes in consumer trends and perceptions of vegan fashion, and to derive strategies for revitalizing vegan fashion brands based on derived results. Among social media, Instagram was selected as a collection channel, and Instagram hashtags for 'Vegan Fashion' were collected from July 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021. After conducting semantic network analysis with the Ucinet 6 program based on the collected data, the CONCOR analysis on vegan fashion showed the following four clusters: 'Veganism practiced with fashion', 'Bag type of vegan fashion brand', 'Sharing vegan fashion', and 'Diversification of eco-friendly products'. Analysis results showed that the Instagram hashtag for vegan fashion confirmed the MZ generation's increased interest in vegan fashion and their thoughts to recommend and share frequently used items or brand products to people around them. CONCOR analysis of vegan fashion brands showed the following four groups: 'Differentiating the material of vegan bags', 'Eco-friendly products of vegan fashion brands', 'Interest in vegan shoes', and 'Donation campaign of vegan fashion brands'. CONCOR analysis on Meaningout showed the following four clusters: 'MZ Generation's Meaningout Start-up', 'Recommendation Platform for Skin Products', 'Value Consumption Trend for Eco-friendly Clothing', and 'Interest in Eco-friendly Packaging'. The results of this study on vegan fashion, a practical eco-friendly movement that can require changes in social responsibility and perception as issues that directly affect animals, the environment, and humans, are expected to provide basic data to help domestic vegan fashion brands develop marketing strategies.

본 연구는 비건의 건강 트렌드 속에 구강건강 영역을 포함시키기 위한 연구 개발의 필요성을 알리고자 20대 이상 비건 식습관 실천자 109명을 대상으로 조사하였다. SPSS을 이용하여 빈도분석, 카이제곱 검정, 단순선형회귀분석을 실시하였다. 완전 채식인 비건 집단은 주관적인 치아우식증 위험도가 낮게 나타났으나, 주관적인 구강건강에 대한 인식은 부정적으로 나타났다. 이는 비건 식습관이 구강건강의 면에서 조금 더 유익할 것이라고 믿으나 실제 구강건강도에서는 취약하다고 인지하는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 뉴노멀 시대에서 비건이라는 새로운 식생활 소비 트렌드를 반영한 식습관 개선 방향 및 구강-영양 프로그램 개발의 필요성을 제시하고자 한다.

최근 기초화장품 트렌드로 클린화장품, 비건화장품 등이 새롭게 다양한 출시가 이루어지고 있으며 시장 내 성장하고 있다. 한동안 화장품의 성분에 대한 관심과 영향이 커지면서 기능성화장품, 코스메슈티컬화장품, 더마화장품이 신뢰를 얻고 인기가 있던 가운데, 효능 외의 요소를 소구하는 비건 브랜드와 제품에 대한 관심이 커지고 있는 중이다. 이러한 변화에 있어 소비자의 라이프스타일과 사회적가치의 영향관계가 영향이 있을 것으로 보이는데 이를 분석하고, ESG가 강조되는 사회 분위기 속에 클린 또는 비건화장품의 소비가 일종의 자기표현의 욕구를 충족시켜주는 역할로써의 관계가 있을지 알아볼 필요가 있겠다. 본 연구는 화장품 소비자를 대상으로 라이프스타일 유형과 자기표현욕구가 사회적가치를 매개하여 비건화장품 구매의도에 미치는 영향에 관하여 분석하였다. 라이프스타일 유형을 외모지향형, 건강지향형, 유행추구형으로 구분하였다. 전국에 거주하는 화장품 소비자로부터 수집한 설문지 321부를 실증분석에 사용하였다. SPSS v26.0과 PROCESS macro v4.2를 사용하여 매개변수가 하나인 단일매개모형을 기반으로 분석하였다. 분석결과 첫째, 외모지향형을 제외한 라이프스타일 유형인 건강지향형 및 유행추구형과 자기표현욕구는 사회적가치에 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 사회적가치는 비건화장품 구매의도에 정(+)의 방향으로 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 외모지향형, 건강지향형 및 유행추구형의 모든 라이프스타일 유형과 자기표현욕구는 비건화장품 구매의도에 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 넷째, 사회적가치는 외모지향형을 제외한 라이프스타일 유형 및 자기표현욕구와 구매의도 간을 매개하는 것으로 나타났다. 외모지향 소비자는 사회적가치에 직접적인 영향을 미치지 않고 구매의도에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타나 외모 지향적인 소비자의 경우 비건화장품 구매 동기가 해당 제품과 관련된 사회적가치에 크게 영향을 받지 않을 수 있음을 시사하고 있다. 표준화계수를 이용한 상대적 영향력 크기 비교에서는 사회적가치를 매개할 때 자기표현욕구가 가장 크게 비건화장품 구매의도에 영향을 미치고 건강지향형이 가장 작게 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이 연구의 학문적 함의로는 틈새 소비자 세그먼트, 중재 메커니즘 및 지속 가능성 고려 사항에 대한 통찰력을 제공함으로써 소비자 행동 연구에 기여하고 있고 마케팅 전략과 지속 가능한 비즈니스 관행을 형성하는 화장품 산업 및 그 이상에 대한 추가 연구 방향을 제시하고 있다.

Fur garment has long been the conventional symbol for luxury, or conspicuous consumption. However, as fashion items began to diversify as part of overall fashion trend, fur items are now more about individual taste and style than just lavishness. Synthetic fur is especially emerging as a new promising fashion material, with a touch almost like natural fur at an affordable price. Along with the emergence of 'Vegan Fashion' trend, synthetic fur is establishing itself as a popular fashion textile. This study is an attempt to investigate subjective evaluation and physical properties of natural and synthetic furs, whose results will further serve as basic data in developing synthetic fur materials. Sensory and emotional evaluations are carried out on natural and artificial furs. For analysis, factors such as weight, thickness, air permeability, gloss and compressibility were surveyed to observe how they influence the physical properties. According to the subjective evaluation, natural and artificial fur samples do not differ in conspicuous ways in appearance. Experiments on physical properties, specifically warm/cool touch experiment, show that natural fur has a slightly higher warm sensation than artificial fur. Luster analysis by using a microscope revealed that there are subtle qualitative differences between natural and artificial fur. During the subjective evaluation, subjects found it hard to state distinct quantitative differences in luster. A survey as a means of assessing qualitative differences in gloss seems to be necessary to complement the evaluation. Results from this study will potentially serve as resources for diversification of fashion product designs using synthetic fur.
