Why I prefer to learn Japanese than Korean?

 

    Recently I have downloaded some apps to learn English with other friends through social media. Most of the cyber-friends would like to chit-chat in the Korean language than other languages. The success of the Korean wave is due to the development of K-Pop stars, movies, and online sharing platforms, which have allowed the Korean industry to reach a sizable overseas over all the world, particularly teenagers.

    Yesterday a Korean guy asked me if I want to learn a new language, which one would you select? I replied that I prefer to learn Japanese than Korean. Japan's industrial products and most advanced technology have been widely used in the world such as AI, auto-cars, robotics, bullet trains, and so on. But how about Korean? What products had been invented by Korean? As my purpose to learn a language is to improve the way people live of daily lives instead of watching TV or dramas.
