Аннотация:Korean people possess impressive skills and abilities and are making a mark in many different fields, but they are not usually considered the most creative in a group. There may be different reasons for the rigidness or lack of creativity of Korea, but this article especially focuses on the effect of school uniforms on the creativity of Korean students. School uniforms are introduced for multiple reasons, including discipline, eliminating class differences between peers, and better academic performance. However, based on an examination of the history of uniforms in Korean schools and the attitudes and habits of students in relation to their uniforms, this article concludes that school uniforms and appearance restrictions do not improve grades, but deny students the expression of individuality and creativity.
