Korea is often looked down upon by weaboos as a “copycat” of Japan. Unfortunately, Japan holds a long history of adopting Korean and Chinese culture to be their own.

Even in ancient times. During the Three Kingdoms period of Korean history, the Hwarang invented KumDo (or “Living Blade”) a style of sword mastery. The life style and martial arts of the Hwarang would eventually be adopted by the Samurai lords in Japan, and named “Kendo”.

Japan and Korea, though on fairly good terms in modern day, have had an ill past, especially during World War 2 where Japan commit countless atrocities against Korea. Many of these atrocities are immortalized in Korean museums where you can see images of Korean women walking many miles with stones in their dress to stone Japanese soldiers.

Koreans are proud and noble people, and are very reserved. They have good food, which can often be quite spicy.

Korea is also home to Seoul, one of the worlds busiest cities. The city has a population of 10 million, living in a fairly small space.

A recent census in the U.S.A. showed roughly 600,000 Koreans living within its borders.

Korea is also home to innovation, and produces some of the worlds most intuitive electronic and communicative devices. Unlike Japan, Korea focuses more on inventions of useful application, and bringing people together.

Their language is also considered one of the most mathematical in the world.

Home of the world's largest minefield.

One of the best places in Asia, home of some of the best Asian singers, home of the awesomest people on earth, and of course... the best food!

The official language of Korea is Korean or Hangul (한글) and there is North Korea and South Korea.
North Korea is the one with Kim Jong Il and nobody from North Korea is allowed to leave their country with the exceptions of Kim Jong Il's family. (So save yourself from stupidity and don't ask some random korean person you know if they are from North Korea or South Korea because if they were from North Korea, they would most likely be dead. And so would you).
South Korea is the one with a lot more freedom, great cities and a beautiful island called Jejudo Island (or Jeju). There is a PC Room and a Karaoke Room on almost every block and you can get great food even on the stands in the streets such as gaeranbang, boonguh bang, and tteukbokki instead of just boring hot dogs like New York.

In short, Korea is the best place on earth you can ever be in and if your state doesn'...

A peninsula that located at the 38th parallel. It borders China and Russia at the north with Japan situated to the east. The Korean Peninsula is divided into two separate nations, North Korea and South Korea. However, the name "Korea" is often used to refer to South Korea due to its greater economic significance and influence in the world.

The history of Korea began with the legendary founding of Gojoseon in 2333 BC by Dangun. Limited linguistic evidence suggests probable Altaic origins of these people, whose northern Mongolian steppe culture absorbed migration and trade with the peoples of Manchuria and China. The adoption of the Chinese writing system ("hanja" in Korean) in the 2nd century BC, and Buddhism in the 4th century AD, had profound effects on the Three Kingdoms of Korea. Baekje later passed on a modified version of these cultural advances to Japan. In 1910, Korea was forcibly annexed by Japan and remained occupied until the end of World War II in August 1945. In 1945, the Soviet Union and the United States agreed on the surrender and disarming of Japanese troops in Korea; the Soviet Union accepting the surrender of Japan north of the 38th parallel and the United States taking the surrender south of it. This led to division of Korea by the two superpowers, exacerbated by their inability to agree on the terms of Korean independence. The two Cold War rivals then established governments sympathetic to their own ideologies, leading to Korea's current division int...

One of countries of Asia beside China and Japan. For 5000 years, RULED by Korean kings and presidents. Has great language called, Korean that allows you to pronounce words that both Chinese and Japanese cannot say.

There is myth that Koreans are desperate for Kimchi, but the reality is absolutely different since some Koreans hate Kimchi for some reasons.

If you are a North Korean, "too bad because of your freaking communist country. lets see how good you can live with your Kim- Jung Il."

If you are a South Korean, "Well... at least you don't have to follow a midget."

A country that, in World War 2, was divided by Soviet Russia and the United States without the consent of the people. As a result, the north half is now a communist dictatorship where a midget named Kim Jong Il is playing with nukes. In addition, south koreans are distrustful and unappreciative of the U.S. troops within Korea. Nearly as sad as wat happened in Iraq. Contrary to the belief of many chinese people, Korea was not part of china. Part of China was the northernmost part of Korea.
