What made you participate in clothing production?
"I was inspired to get involved in clothing production by my favorite uncle, who happens to be associated with TENITZ. Seeing my interest in fashion, he encouraged me, saying that anyone can create clothes. Intrigued by the idea, I decided to give it a try, and that's how I ventured into the world of clothing production."
What kind of clothing did you want to make?
"Growing up, I've always been active in sports such as ice hockey, bowling, golf, soccer, tennis, and running. While engaging in physical activities and attending training sessions, I noticed that my body temperature would suddenly drop after sweating a lot, leading to instances of catching a cold. This inspired me to create clothing with a towel material that effectively absorbs sweat. As a result, I designed short sleeves and shorts to enhance comfort and performance during workouts."
Were there any difficulties in the production process?
"At the beginning, I was unsure of where to start, but the designers guided me comfortably, making the process much more approachable. I had the opportunity to choose the color I desired and explore various materials, ultimately making selections from the options provided. The abundance of designs they showed me greatly facilitated the decision-making process."
How does it feel to actually wear the made product?
"Being involved in choosing materials and designing the clothing was fulfilling, but trying it on myself was a unique and special experience. It's something not everyone gets to enjoy. When my friends saw the clothes, they envied and expressed a desire to create their own. That made me genuinely happy, akin to the feeling of acquiring a rare item in a game. It's been a rewarding journey."
Is there anything you want to say?
"Thank you so much for this unforgettable experience. If given another opportunity, I would love to do it again. Thank you."
