How come Korea is becoming so much more culturally dominant in the world than Japan? Every asiaboo I know loves Korean culture, food, fashion, music and movies while only fat weebs and other social rejects have the same open love for Japanese culture. Everybody talks about when they're going to go to Korea now, despite the constant threats of war. Korea just seems so much cooler than Japan.
Is there a reasonable explanation for this?

Korea became a highly developed country only recently, while Japan was already rich in the 1990s
You don't have to get all worked up about us
>bait
Japanese culture develops organically, Korean culture is manufactured by their government investing millions into creating Idol Groups aka K-Pop.
I guessed the Italian flag is who used to chill out in /ausnz/ and once said he is south Korean and often came out those thread relating to Jap, though.
what do you think of this?
this kind of threads are because of South Korean's desperate inferiority, I wonder.
>playing at a speed that low
>having such a high combo despite low note density
>not playing デレステ
Fucking disgusting.
of course it's a bait, kpop is a shitty music style for 15yo girls without money power.
Animes are a shitty cartoon style for overpaid or rich neets.
another Korean inferiority thread was started lol
Because Korean stuff is new and appeals to westerners, and Japan is old news, a stale masturbatory circle without innovation or adaptation. Basically, Korean stuff is made to succeed and be popular *now*, while Japanese people just create the same stuff over and over again that *used* to be popular.
You can also trace it to their economic performance. Back when Japan was booming, post-War, they made a ton of good movies, electronic products, good music styles, innovated in electronic music etc. They were the big new thing. Now that their economy is bad, they're too scared to try anything. Korea has been performing better than they have for a good decade or two.
Finally, Korea is just all-around better. It's more Christian (meaning people have morals), better economy and innovator, better pop culture relevance, and its political culture, despite the nuclear threat from NK, much freer because people are more involved in it (look at the candle light revolution, for example. Japs on twitter were dismayed, relenting the fact that they could never ever hold something like that because the political culture is too censored and closed off). Their president was found to be in a cult, so she was impeached and prosecuted, along with the Samsung heir being convicted and jailed for bribery. That would never happen in Japan. Its culture doesn't allow for it. Their Prime Minister is embroiled in a corruption scandal? Revealed to be on a cult? Nothing on the news, little attention to political opposition, no significant outcry.
People call Chinese soulless obedient ant people, but they were just actively shaped that way through their government through totalitarian suppression. The Japanese are worse, because not only are they soulless, obedient, trendworshipping ant people -- they are so willingly.

No.

>Finally, Korea is just all-around better.
Eh, no ...
Korean corporate culture is abhorrent. It speaks volumes that the government was forced to outlaw 68 hour (!!!) working weeks.
Koreans work the longest hours in the OECD, without significant productivity increases.
Korea has very high inequality and low social mobility. Your job prospects depend more upon your caste than your performance, as only the wealthiest get into the best universities. (The youth coined the term "Hell Joseon".)
1 in 2 Korean elders lives in poverty. 1 in 2. And the number of elders is steeply increasing, as Koreans have catastrophically low birth rates.
Now, Japan has many of these problems as well. Yet, Korea is by no means a perfect country to live in.
k-pop and k-drama arent the whole country, luigi
korea is a hyper-competitive workaholic country with huge problems
korean is good.・・・・・・・・・ ok i see
we ask korean Gov not to conclude currency swap with japan.
korea Central Bank and economic member desperately should says currency swap with japan.
we know korean never keep any kind of promise, its useless money
keep anti-japan.
korea is horrible compared to japan
were you in both countries?
or do you repeat Jow Forums wisdom?
>Why people like Justin Bieber more than (good band here)??? WTF??? Bieber is clearly superior!
experience. japanese food is better, japs are quieter, koreans appears to be chinks with money.
Korea has literal shanties all over outside Seoul.
find me one on google maps
>better economy
their economy is taking a nose-dive and the youth are literally finding jobs in japan in droves
>and innovator,
top kek they aren't.
if you check out innovator rankings that don't simply rely on the number of patents filed but are based on deeper analysis that takes into account actual impact on industries, you'll find japan and america reign supreme. the number of patents itself means nothing, as many are garbage for the sake of filing a patent - corporations often set patent quotas for engineers and evaluate their performance by it, and so they churn out shit patents to fulfill it.

most people don't know about innovations other than familiar things like smartphones and gadgets, so it's not surprising that you have such an impression, for samsung sells lots of them and memory chips, but even then none of them were actually created in korea: a typical smartphone works on an american OS running on a british designed SoC connected with d-ram and flash memory, invented by america and japan respectively, along with a thin energy efficient led-lit ips display unit and a lithium ion battery, developed by japan.
>look at the candle light revolution, for example. Japs on twitter were dismayed, relenting the fact that they could never ever hold something like that because the political culture is too censored and closed off
lol no, if any, those are just some contrarians (like the op) trying to bait the vast majority of japanese who were laughing at korea, saying "ah, yet another third-world thing happening in sk. butthurt plebs flocking to a plaza to call for a "revolution" for a corruption scandal? a typical third world lmao". and the most funny part is they seem to somehow think they are more democratic for that, but i've never heard of a country except korea in which every president is arrested after/during the term in the first place.
Korea is biting the SJW pill harder than Japs. It is only a matter of time before they are fully cucked like Taiwan
>korean government debt: 38%/GDP
>japanese government debt: 253%/GDP
hmm ...
i know most of this debt is internal and won't bankrupt you, but your economy has been on life conservation for three decades by now, while the korean one wasnt.
asians will never be as SJW as wh*Tes
All koreans are welcomed in Russia if anything.
Koreans I've met are good mannered educated individuals.
At least in Russia with their knowledge they could find a job in some comapny in Moscow or St.Petersburg and live decent life around here.
That reminds me, its my turn to post the thread next
dont dare, we have enough korea shitposting
