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?
Some favorites:
JYP’s infamous plastic pants
South Korean TV sweetheart Choo Sa-rang
Jiyeon of K-pop group T-ara and her alleged strip video chat scandal
The dramatic apology of Koh Seung-duk, a candidate for Seoul’s superintendent of education, after his daughter blasted him on Facebook
Adelina Sotnikova of Russia, who beat Yuna Kim at the Sochi Winter Olympics this year
Uruguayan striker Luis Suárez, who allegedly took a bite into the shoulder of Italy’s Giorgio Chiellini during a World Cup match
