Most Koreans are descended from slaves

Koreans would be top-tier humans if they didn't have such a victim complex. But most Asians in general do to be honest. They're still breddy good bros though

based koreans invented a top tier writing system that a smart man could learn in a morning and got rid of the disgusting chink shit they used before
korea is a wonder of a country

South Korea was the poorest country in the world 60 years ago

South Korea was the world's poorest country after the Korean War, they literally received aid FROM Ethiopia (military and medical aid).

this is a very japanese thread

I find it funny that the western world conveinently forget that Korea was a right wing dictatorship for more than 40 years

Dis tread meiks me ride airplane mnnnnnnn

Because Korea is the country where there is the biggest generation gap. Our older generation lived in the third world shithole but younger generation live in the first world.

Imagine if America never intervened... waow

Where did it all go so wrong?

Next generation will be a part of China again

>People believe South Korea's success has anything to do with their people and not the US just pumping it up

wew

Meanwhile the youth will keep being subject to overblown expectations from the older generation despite already having reached a developmental ceiling in terms of wealth.
>it'll practically be Japan 2.0

If it'll create as many cartoons as Japan I won't complain

They're already outsourcing a lot to Korea.

I've never seen a Korean cartoon in my life

>Koreans would be top-tier humans if they didn't have such a victim complex
Japanese detected

so what went wrong?

A civil war against communists that went on for 10~ years ruined the country

Communists,Muslims and Civil war

POkemon is not korean nor is yu gi oh or video games

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Names_of_Korea#English_usage
>Despite the coexistence of the spellings "Corea" and "Korea" in 19th-century English publications, some Koreans believe that Japan, around the time of the Japanese occupation, intentionally standardised the spelling on "Korea", so that "Japan" would appear first alphabetically
>Koreans have such a large victim complex that they cry about who appears first in the alphabet
>Japan didn't even use to call them Corea/Korea, they were called Chousen so they came before Japan in the alphabet anyway

Indians aren't that bad. Pakistanis however...

I was planning to write pakistan, but then the shit joke wouldnt work as well

It is just kaidan. Bro. And... Fuck it. We have a lot of america-kaidan. Nobody said it is america-complex. Kaidan is just kaidan.

Pretty sure it was the same for us.
