Why do some people consider Japan to be better than Korea?

Answer 1

One can never gauge the superiority of one country over another, due to it being a matter of opinion. However, these are some aspects about Korea that are generally perceived to more favorable than those of Japan.

-General Electronics: The Korean companies Samsung and LG are considered to be some of the top competitors in many diverse areas of technology (ranging from smartphones to televisions to household appliances). The Japanese company Sony was once a major competitor in many technological industries but has fallen behind Samsung and LG.

-Music: K-pop has become increasingly popular internationally due to its more westernized appeal and unique style (for example-Psy's Gangnam Style). Japanese music on the other hand appeals almost exclusively to people from Japan and has not had much international popularity.

-English-speaking: Korean students are taught in schools to learn English as a second language in order to become more internationally competent. As a result, an English-speaking foreigner coming to Korea would have more ease communicating with the locals. Japan on the other hand does teach English in some schools, but is not generally considered important.

Ultimately, the answer to this question simply comes down to preference. There are undoubtedly things about Japan that are preferred over their counterparts in Korea and vice versa. I hope I helped to answer your question.
