Let me compare Korea and Japan, its neighboring country. We call Japan as a close but far away country, which signifies that there are many similarities and differences between two countries. Historically, many things have flowed into Japan from China through Korea because of three countries’ geographically locations. Therefore, it is natural that there are many thing in common between three countries. But their unique inherent characters starkly different from others have made them differentiate each other. See, two country feed on similar foods but how to eat them is different. For example, Japan prefers individual tray to eating together on a big table which is how Koreans eat every meal. There are similar vocabularies in both two languages, but how expression should be made is totally different. Japan is not supposed to reveal what’s inside in relationship, esp. in business, but not the other way round for Koreans, who’re likely to consider it as a hypocrite.

Hi, Steve!

Indeed, the similarities and differences between Korea and Japan reflect their intertwined histories and unique cultural identities. It's fascinating how shared influences from China through Korea have shaped both nations, yet their distinct characteristics set them apart, from dining customs to communication styles. These nuances enrich our understanding of the deep-rooted connections and individualities between Korea and Japan.
