South Koreans are friendlier, relatively, but I like Japan better as a country and place to visit. As far as Asia goes Viet Nam and Malaysia are better tourist spots, and Singapore is well worth a visit as a model city/state.

Both countries have pluses

Japan has a head start in business and technology but South Korea is catching up fast

Japan is more insular while South Korea is more international

korean music and films are bigger box office draws overseas

My favorite franchise Transformers came from Japan from Japanese Toy Company Takara and the Korean animation company AKOM created the last three episodes of Transformers, The Rebirth, which is my favorite episode or episodes of TransFormers.

I don't know, let's take it to the streets, and see who wins.



. . . well. That was quick.

What if they got into a war? South Korea is probably better trained and has a more offensive military because of the constitution of Japan banning such.

South Korea probably has a better ground army and ability to project its power as it needs to because of fear North korea. China would probably be wiser to attack Japan after Taiwan then South Korea with this in mind.

I've lived for years in both countries... they both have pluses and minuses...

Japan is more liveable for gaijin than is Korea for waeguk saram.

Let's hope there is no war anywhere.

Both South Korea and Japan are very safe in terms of crime.

The best kaiju movie...

TransFormers

I know nothing about Transformers

However Japan seems to have a lead in that genre

but in feature films and music Korea is more becoming the leader

Such as K-pop boy or girl bands

My kid was nuts about Transformers.

I know all the Cybertron series. . . and then, of course, he had to have the original movie with Orson Welles, Eric Idle, and Weird Al.

True. The Korean Government created those kpop groups. They wanted to spread Korean culture around the world.

There I am above Rodimus Prime with the matrix of leadership

To be honest, there are a lot of Bolex watches and Godova chocolates and the like in South Korea. K-pop was born as a knock-off of J-pop. It certainly has become popular though. A Chinese version is starting to hit popularity in the region now (of course). Korean TV dramas are hugely popular in Japan. A lot of Japanese obahan taking classes in Korean so they can watch in the original.

South Korea has tons of Hagwons or English Academies throughout the country. I think the United States needs Hagwons to help all these Non-English speakers learn American-English in the United States. It's especially needed for the Adult English Learners.
