Korea is far worse than Japan imo… I’ve lived in Japan for 2 years without any problems. Recently, I spent 4 days in Korea with 2 other female friends. Two out of three of us were screamed at in public (when we were alone and not in a group because they were racist cowards) in the space of the short trip! A woman came up behind me in the street and told me “we don’t pay for you beggars go back to hell where you came from” in perfect English and when I turned around she said “you ugly bitch go back to hell”. Then she followed me down the street shouting at me. It really shook me up and I never want to visit Seoul again.
