Korea
Korea is a region in East Asia divided into two countries: South Korea and North Korea. South Korea is known for its advanced technology, vibrant culture, and democracy, featuring major cities like Seoul and a booming economy. North Korea, in contrast, is a single-party state led by a dictator, known for its isolation and military focus. The Korean Peninsula has a rich history, influenced by Confucianism, Buddhism, and various dynasties. The Korean War (1950-1953) solidified the division, and tensions remain, especially regarding nuclear weapons. Korean culture, including K-pop and cuisine, has gained global popularity in recent years.
