I agree with you that K-pop and Western culture have a significant impact on the way Malaysian parents dress their kids nowadays and that kids want to be "up-to-date and fashionable in front or in the eyes of their peers". Its is a social pressure for kids to conform to what's 'cool' and 'in' according to the media.
