There is no such thing as a "hardest language" or an "easiest language". It depends on the person. A major factor is a person's motivation for learning a second language.

However, if you're talking about written language, Korean has the least number of characters in their phonetic alphabet, while Japanese has two separate phonetic alphabets which must be used in conjunction with kanji characters from China, all of which have multiple reading dependent on what other characters they're paired with, some of which are one-off readings that have no standard for reading other than having to memorize that particular context.
