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.
