But we realize that the concept of a \u2018common economic system\u2019\u00a0 is so ambiguous in Korea that just saying people will share all their clothes is just not feasible. So we reduced the range of the clothes to be shared. We thought, what sort of clothes are most crucial, and for which people? When we pondered the question, what came to mind naturally was formal clothing for interviews. Many believe that formal clothes that they buy they will continue to wear even after they are successful in their application, but we have observed that often those close are just kept in the closet. A donation of those formal clothes that \u2018sleep in the closet\u2019 can help out youth who are seeking employment these days in these difficult times.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3887\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3887\" style=\"width: 620px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/green-liberty.org\/circlesandsquares\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/img_0137.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-3887\" alt=\"The Open Closet is an NGO run together with support from Seoul Metropolitan City that permits people to share clothes with each other.
