The Seoul-backed platform 'Hi Seoul Showroom' hosted the citizen-participatory sustainable fashion festival

demonstrations of eco-friendly DTP and DTG technologies, garnering significant interest from both the
industry and consumers.
♦ Global Scalability of Upcycled Character IP
‘Raggy’ embodies an ESG narrative by transforming fashion waste into a storytelling-driven character.
This aligns with the rising trend of conscious fashion marketing among global brands, and presents
strong potential for expansion as character-based IP merchandising or ESGdriven collaboration
campaigns in international markets.

The event featured direct-to-garment(DTG/DTP) printing for instant customization of graphic T-shirts,
offering consumers an interactive experience. This production method supports a cycle of real-time
product planning → limited edition manufacturing → global export. ESGthemed T-shirts, with high
symbolic value and low unit cost, are particularly well-suited for test sales in international retail markets
with minimal entry risk.
