But both are genetically close enough they could be the same people, as close genetically as norwegians to swedes, saxons to bavarians, or english to scottish
If SK and Japan ever united would easily take care of the China problem
On a nominal basis your figures are almost a year old, on a current exchange rate basis they are the same today or SK is slightly higher, both around $33k, the japanese yen has been getting crushed over the past few months

Korea has been occupied twice in recorded history
Mongol Empire (1270-1355): Mongol Empire had a population of 100+ million with over 3+ million Mongolians, Korea (entire peninsula had around 3 million)
Japanese Empire (1910 to 1945): Japan had a population of 50+ million in 1910, the entire Korean peninsula had about 10 million, also this was a bloodless coup as there were a lot of Koreans that conspired against the Korean royal family which was largely seen as backwards/corrupt to support the Japanese occupation (which is why a lot of the big companies from both nations are still interrelated to this day)
Even during the Imjin Wars in the late 1500s which is considered most devasting military conflict in Korean history other than the Korean War, Japan had a population of 25+ million and the entire Korean peninsula had less than 10 million and still repelled both the Japanese and the Ming Chinese that tried to stay, Ming China had close to 200+ million people too

To claim SK as part of China because of the Mongol Empire is the same as claiming Hungary, Russia, Ukraine, Turkey are part of China, the Mongols incorporated all of these lands into their empire which included the Yuan dynasty
There has never been a han chinese occupation of the Korean peninsula
Koreans are genetically Siberian + Koguryo Korean + Mongol + Manchu
Japanese are genetically Korean colonist + Austronesian aborigine natives

Name one statistic on the OP pic that is incorrect with your source as to what you believe should be the correct figures

How's your days in the US Mr. Michael Kim.

> SK 175cm Japan 172cm > SK $53,000 gdp per capita Japan $48,800 gdp per capita > SK 199 male olympic medalist (with 51 million people) Japan 179 male olympic medalist (with 125 million people) > all time soccer head-to-head SK 42 wins, 23 draws, Japan 16 wins
How will Japan ever recover?

In the "which is better" comparison, South Korea always has an advantage here. Many of them disliked their own country and fled to foreign countries, and they all cooperated in the propaganda work of their homeland as a diaspora.

For example GDP per capita Look into this by yourself Still Japan is higher than south korea in many indications
The pic you posted was for 2021 based on exchange rates from 2021. The japanese yen is at 135.19 today compared 115.11 on December 31, 2021, that is a decline of 17.4%, on top of that Japan had a negative decline in 1Q 2022 GDP growth so even assuming the GDP in local currency stayed flat (even though it declined) the current nominal GDP per capita for Japan is $32,397 faggot
The picrel is the IMF estimates for 2022 based on PPP which is flawed too but not subject to exchange rate fluctuations as much and literally compares every nations buying power compared to the US, the US GDP nominal always equals PPP and everything is adjusted from there
Also keep in mind that most currency futures and analyst expect the yen to weaken even more than 140, potentially 150, its not even going to be a first world country if the yen gets to the 150s lol
The data South Korea submits to the international community is almost unreliable. They don't think lying is a bad thing.

Japan makes higher quality products than the koreans (south)

German study on standardizing all of the nations various height estimates on a consistent basis, its the only worldwide study on human height of nations
In reality I was actually surprised that Japan was 172cm, I thought it was a lot shorter
>But both are genetically close enough they could be the same people,
Only because Korean people moved into Japan and killed and mixed with the native Japanese who were more closer to the original Siberian’s and central Asians and native Europeans
Logan Rogers
>sqvid men have the shortest pennies in the world nobody cares about the height except korean
I am showing the data of the koran national resources tho..? They say their average height is 172 cm but why are you saying German resource all the way?
Landon Nelson
koreans are reipu babies of Khan japanese are not we are somewhat closer to Bhutanese
The data Japan submits to the international community is almost unreliable. They don't think lying is a bad thing.
See how I did that with no substantiation faggot, its just your paranoid insular seething faggot
By the way, those Jap volunteers in Ukraine that spent their entire time posting on twitter shit talk about the Ukrainians and other foreign volunteers while hiding in the rear with the Ukrainian women and children, everybody in Ukraine fucking hates Japs now and these Jap volunteers had to escape under cover of night for fear of being fragged by the other foreign volunteers
Same with that Jap that pretended to be a private military contractor a few years ago that had was executed by knife chopping head off by isis, fucking rat like behavior, its giving your nation a really bad reputation in the real world
On nominal basis based on current exchange rates SK is higher than Japan today and the gap is widening ever year
Also, the british pound and euro are getting crushed too, US dollar mogging everything it our path, UK gdp per capita is probably in the $30s on nominal based on current exchange rates lol

> more closer to the original Siberian’s and central Asians and native Europeans
This has to be the most retarded post on /int ever, Koreans are literally Siberians, the Ainus were austronesians essentially lighter skinned versions of the natives of Philippines and Papua New Guinea, about as far from central asian genetics as it gets, that's why the Japs are fucking midgets today regardless of income, their genetics literally have the midget gene from the Ainus
