The irony is... South Korean upper class was highly influenced and educated from Imperial Japan right after the independance. South Korea is the brainchild of Imperial Japan.

So? What's the irony? Korea has been always a sad bumfuck nation that tries to copy either China or Japan and fails badly.

South Korea is a highly civilized nation with its own culture and heritage. Sadly, they are also the bridge between China
and Japan, who take turns invading to get at each other.
south korea makes some decent, basic MMOs, guys, i think they deserve some credit.

Korea is uncivilised with no heritage and imitates other cultures badly. They are not decimated by other countries, they bring it on themselves.

The irony is, South Korea itself is formed and governed by people who happens to be very anti-Korean by background despite they are Koreans. Look at Park Jeong Hee for example, a South Korean dictator who used to praise the Japanese Empire for good.
Bottom line: South Korea has no hope. That goes along with North Korea.

All the other Asians, but Japanese. They actually make something fappable and entertaining. Others just pirate stuff and fuck up international market with their slave labor goods.

Korea makes a lot of child porn. If you can even count that.
Some of the most vain, stupid and most cynical comments I've ever seen here. What I know is that Koreans do NOT normally imitate Japanese or Chinese. It is true that in the past, impoverished South Korea bench marked Japan for industrial growth. But why would Koreans imitate Chinese and for what? Please be objective and specify. When you look at young Koreans abroad or inside South Korea, you could tell right away that they dress up differently from Japanese and their hair style is also very different from Japanese counterparts. Many South Korean young people do not even watch Japanese entertainments (except Manga) due to their own full fledged domestic entertainment industry which is HUGE!!! I find that it is rather many Taiwanese Chinese who seem to imitate and want to be like Japanese in the supposedly "superior" Japanese culture. The Taiwanese girls try hard to look like Japanese girl and some even say that Japan should have been succeeded in completely annexing Taiwan during WW2. I personally think that some Koreans are dumb and loathsome. But I have strong disagreement on the rashly made comments here that Koreans either copy Chinese (I don't understand why anyone would like to copy Chinese nowadays and on what?) or Japanese (Koreans hate very much anything to do with the past's intertwined commonality with the Japanese) although Korean and Japanese languages both being NON-tonal language & belonging to Uralic/Altaic language group which include Turkish,Mongolian,Finish,Hungarian, Korean,Japanese etc.- but some linguists make separate category of 'Japanese Korean' language group due to their staggering similarity.- interestingly Chinese language belongs to the Sino-Tibetan language group and is a system of the TONAL language. Both Korean and Japanese academia or researchers or archaeologists have been normally silent and have taboos on the shared past history such as pertaining to the kinsmen blood shared b/w each other along the anthropological frame of history. Even my wife from Daegu of Korea (close to the south eastern tip of Korean peninsula) whom most people think she is Japanese in appearance gets very much offended when she is told that Koreans and Japanese share some secret history. Without a doubt, inferiority complex ridden Koreans DO NOT want to hear anything that has to do with sharing our own genetic make up with the next door neighbor. And the snubbing Japanese hate to be identified with the 'rude,crude,inferior' Koreans! Many Koreans can NOT even name a few Japanese celebrities whereas many Japanese young people seem to know more on the Korean K-pop stars. Believe me, there is a paradigm shift going on in East Asia as far as the pop-cultures are concerned and the copy cat accusation in some of the comments here will be judged by many as just personally biased uneducated comments against a certain race due to his or her past hurtful experience. Those hateful comments seem to be so pathetic and not credible to believe. I don't understand why would any country, let alone Korea, wants to copy the cheap Chinese (I'm sorry for this expression) or Japanese (Koreans have no interests in "Jap"-I'm sorry for this expression as well) when the stupid Koreans have enough of their own to enjoy.

It's because they have got inferior language.
Their language is basically from China.
because all their vocabulary is Chinese inside the Hangul.
Hangul is just a funny language compared to ancient Chinese and Japanese developed their own form of language from Chinese.
but Korean language is very inferior.
Their culture is weird, and too old fashional, they do not know how to change, therefore inferior.
Their mind-set, work accomplishment, and everything is inferior compared to Japan or European nations.
The only Asian country who can compete European nations is Japan.
You want to compare Japan and Korea?
It's an insult if you call a Japanese person Korean.
I came South Korea to figure out but it's hopeless, they are always depressed, low, don't know how to look up but keep on looking down, and this little South Korea is like the entire world for Koreans.
If foreign country gets involved, they are frightened, because they know that there are better nations than them.
But they just don't want to face the reality.
It's just a crazy country with some crazy cultures and bureaucracy.
You should see how Korean elder treats young Korean.
They act like boss of them, tell them what to do, opress them.
They don't know how to love each other.
young people verses old people, men verses women.
Korea is trully sad country it needs help from other nations.
But when it gets to this topic, they deny the reality, and they are still best, delusion.
There are so many more, but I'll just call it here.
For me, South Korea sucks, you wanna compare to Japan? compare with U.S.A. or England.

Japan pirates inventions. Very much like China, but less openly.
For example, Japanese video games are based on U.S. variants and sometimes they steal whole parts of it. Here is video game tune stolen from Warcraft http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f5-dPYrXFHY

Even their traditional dress looks Japanese http://www.powerofpeace.com/node/3618 - pretty much Kimono
South Koreans are the more decent folks in Asia. South Korean citizens have fought for their civil rights for over 50 years. Japanese citizens have never seriously fought for their civil rights for over 50 years.
It's a huge difference. I prefer the Koreans.

>>37 civil rights
Generated by civil society, "human rights" are, in fact, Jewish Rights, it is obvious that from the perspective of a Jew (the bourgeoisie), that a non-Jew (goy) is not a human or not quite a human, so a non-Jews have no right for "human rights".
In his paper "On the Jewish Question" Karl Marx takes out bones from these "rights" (as he wrote, "the rights of a member of civil society are the rights of a selfish Jew separated from goyim nature and generality"): the right to freedom - that is, the Jewish freedom to do what does not interfere with other Jews, the right to property - of course, the Jewish property, the right to equality - understood purely as jewish equality before the Halakha, the right to security as a police concept. The whole of civil society exists only to provide each Jew with integrity of his person, his rights and his property.
The condition for the emergence of civil society is the Jewish economic idenpendency on the basis of the private property (i.e. Jewish property). Civil society is a society of Jewish domination of the market. An important characteristic of civil society is an achievement of a high level of self-organization and self-regulation of the Jews.
Civil society is organized following the redistribution of goyish property among the Jews. The restriction of a total power of the State through the introduction of the Inalienable Rights of Jews: the rights on usury, on Zionism, on the performance of religious rites of Judaism, on the freedom of Jewish speech, and on the self-fulfillment of Jews. All disputes between the Jews are decided in rabbinical court.
