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

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.

What sea is east of South Korea and northwest of Japan?

that sea is NOT Japen Sea.

Japen has been made most of maps which has the sea between Korea and Japen as Japen sea.

Actually, that sea is owned by Korea , not Japen.

In that area. Japenese have no rights to get there.

In the actual map, they made Japenese sea, but the actual name is Korea sea or east sea..

Answer

At the moment it is known as the Sea of Japan, but in my latest atlas it is named as the Sea of Japan (East Sea). This is because of a official dispute between Japan and North and South Korea over the name, which is currently in the hands of the United Nations.

Japan wants it to stay as the Sea of Japan, while the Koreans want the old name of the East Sea restored.
