Japan vs South Korea in everything!?

Travel Tips
Which is "better" (some of these are facts, and others are opinions):
Electronics - Japan is more highly developed in this area
Cost of Living - South Korea is cheaper (still expensive)
Food - Both (I just can't decide!)
Traditional Clothing - I like Japanese yukata/jinbei, but Korean hanbok are good maternity wear
Martial Arts - I like the Japanese history of martial arts from farmers, so I'll say Japan, although Tae Kwon Do is certainly respectable!
Animation - Japan has a better-developed animation base
Sports - Typically Japan does better (overall in Olympics, but also in general)
Winter Olympics - South Korea is stronger
Summer Olympics - Japan has more medals
Size - Japan is larger
Population - Japan has a larger population
Physical Beauty (people, I mean) - South Korea
Height - I believe Koreans are taller on average
Build - Korean men tend to be more muscular and Korean women tend to have larger bust size than Japanese
Music - I like Japanese music better (both are good, though)
Length of History - the Japanese are currently considered to be older
Age - Japanese tend to live longer
Written language - Korean hangeul is very easy (Japanese takes a lot more time to master, even for natives)
Popularity of Plastic Surgery - More popular in South Korea
Suicide Rate - higher in Japan
Religion - South Koreans tend to be more religious
Films - Japan does horror the best, South Korea does drama like no other country! Both have good action movies


Those are so random, but they are some comparisons!

Others
Very good economic power houses.
Japan in Cars, Tires and Videogames
I dont think so, sometimes they are in alley, like against N.kore neuclear prob.
Having lived in both countries I have a much greater fondness for South Korea. The cherry blossoms that the Japanese love so much actually came from South Korea. It was a Korean monk who gave the Japanese their language in the first place so there are many similarities.
The Korean sense of humour is more aligned to the West. Saving face is not an issue as it is with the Japanese.
People of both countries are hard working.
South Korea have beaten Japan hands down at building ships with Hyundae, Samsung and Daewoo being the biggest shipbuilders in the world.
I prefer some types of Japanese green tea to any other. Japanese beer is probably better but I find little difference between soju and sake.
I am closer to the South Korean rather than Japan experience. I love the food of both countries.
Japan leads in front.
Also, Japan has a good lead over other car-producing countries.
Japan is a developed country, South Korea is a developing country. They are just not comparable, aside from the fact that they are close to each other geographically.

The asker is probably Korean. Koreans like to compare their country to Japan.
