[+688, -60] We have copied a lot of Japanese products as well
[+610, -72] They're not wrong, they did get a lot of products stolen by us
[+592, -74] It's true that our ramen skills stem from Japan but we're the ones who advanced it
[+41, -3] I remember being surprised when I first visited Japan because they had the exact versions of our snacks like shrimp chips, caramel peanuts, Pepero, and they all tasted like slightly more expensive versions of our snacks so I figured that we must've copied their products. My face got red at the thought.
[+29, -0] Most of the snacks in our country like shrimp chips and Pepero are copies of Japanese products. For Japan to copy us back today means that our products are now going up in quality. At least Japan admits it and aren't like the Chinese who copy everything from our Hanboks to K-Pop while acting like they're the origin.
[+23, -1] As if Koreans haven't copied anything from Japan like our pop music industry, variety shows, comedy shows, shine muscat, chokeberry, etc ㅋㅋ let's not act all shy
[+19, -3] I take Japan copying us as a sign that our products have gotten better in quality ㅋㅋ
[+12, -3] We've only ever copied their products so for the tables to have turned and for them to copy a product of ours is just a sign that our country is improving ㅋㅋ it's especially poignant considering that Japan is admitting it when you know they have super strong pride when it comes to this stuff ㅋㅋ

[+1,196, -15] Finally, Japan is the one to copy us now.. Korea must've grown a lot as a country ㅋ this is great
[+379, -19] Honestly, I also have to admit that a lot of our desserts... are imitations of Japanese desserts.
[+284, -16] I do have to admit that we've copied a ton of Japanese products ㅋㅋㅋ but for Japan to copy us now and call it "revenge" just means they've stooped to our level
[+224, -15] Feels very different to have Japan copy from us compared to China copying from us
[+186, -28] Korea's copied way more from Japan, like our entire convenience store system. It's not a secret that a lot of businessmen travel to Japan for product ideas. We should all just admit what's true.
[+29, -0] I'm fine with them copying it but do they not have pride? Why put Korean on the label? ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
[+23, -7] Our ramen is indeed originally from Japan. Right after the Korean War, when our people were starving, Samyang went over to Japan and pleaded for our situation, and managed to get the recipe for ramen. That's the origin of Korean ramen. Thanks to that recipe, a lot of people were able to keep their bellies full. As much as we hate Japan, we have to admit the truth.
[+14, -4] Aren't most of our snacks copies of Japanese snacks? ㅋㅋㅋㅋ so we really have nothing to say to Japan about this ㅎ
[+12, -2] All of our industries grew out of copying Japan's, it's the truth
[+7, -0] When our country was poor, we did copy a lot of Japanese things... but for them to copy us now means that we're doing well ㅋㅋㅋ This makes me feel happy, to have flipped the tables like this.
[+7, -0] We grew by copying Japan's TV and electronics industries, which is what China is doing to us now ㅋㅋ
[+6, -0] Well, we hope you enjoy it~ because it is indeed a tasty product
