by MICHELLE WOO

Hey, high school in South Korea isn’t all work and no play, at least not for the students of Uijeongbu High School outside Seoul. The graduating seniors have a brilliant tradition of dressing up in costumes for their high school yearbook portraits, and this year, many poked fun at current events and pop culture. Sure beats the unmemorable cap and gown, doesn’t it?
