Seniors have flocked to modelling schools on the back of Kim's success. Others have become YouTube stars or signed up to teach Korean to K-pop fans overseas. "Learning modelling feels like reviving my youth that I could not enjoy because I got married and gave birth at a very young age," Yoo said, donning a cobalt blue jacket, orange stiletto heels and designer sunglasses.Lim Sung-min, who represents Kim and is a former model himself, said his agency is seeking to bolster its ranks of senior models, aiming to cater to the fast-growing elderly industry.
"Elderly customers have become big players, especially in the fashion sector, as they spend more money for themselves after focusing on their families for decades," a Lotte spokeswoman said. "They were too talented to play pool there every day, with so much social and career experience to share," said Cho, 27, who recently graduated from the school.
"Coaching is a difficult job because it requires you to have endless energy, but I'm happy to be of a little help for other people beyond the border."Tapping into an international community has also proved lucrative for more traditional older workers. Sales of his tools have tripled and exports have soared, leading him to take on more workers - some seniors like himself, and some youngsters who might one day take over the business.Such cases are encouraging, experts say, but social protections should also be improved to keep pace with the speed of ageing, including sustainable policies to guarantee decent levels of income for seniors.
