Korea was a poor country before the Korean War. Clothing in Korea was affected by the poverty of the country, made worse after North Korea invaded South Korea by the destruction occuring during the fighting. Fighting took place up and down the peninsula. And after fighting had been contained around the 38° paraslell, American air raids struck at targets in the north. Most of the images we see during and in the aftermath of the War show children wearing traditional clothing. Very rarely do we see children in western clothing.
