I find it doubtful this image was made by a Korean.

China: Yellow Dust

Japan: Historical Dispute

Saudi Arabia: Oil

Thailand: Tourism

Middle East(Syria, etc): Dangerous

Mongolia: Genghis Khan

Israel: Jesus, Jerusalem

 

Main stereotypes missing are,

Central Asia: Where Han Ga-in plow the fields and Kim Tae-hee draws cows. In other words, beautiful women.

Turkey: Same language family, Korean War participant. In other words, brother nation.

Israel: Advanced military and technology. Good family values.

 

@Lannie Tourism, like golf and scuba diving. English learning. Crime wave against Koreans.

Is there really a crime wave against Koreans in the Philippines?

We usually don't have anything against Koreans in generals. I hope you are aware that most of the crimes against Koreans are orchestrated by other Koreans.

Most Caribbean states are sort of out of our radar, except for Cuba. But I suppose the general perception of the Caribbean is beautiful landscape and beaches. And also the Bermuda Triangle.

A lot of Koreans go there to learn English. It's a much cheaper alternative to developed countries like the US, Canada and Australia. It's also known for tourism, usually golf. Don't know if this is shared by other Koreans, but my personal impression is that a lot of unsavory elements of Korean society go to Philippines to escape justice and engage in criminal activity.

788,530 Koreans visited the Philippines last year even during the pandemic. How many do you think? are suspected criminals
