That is very true. Koreans, especially Korean boys, have great pride in their country. For some reason they have...interesting beliefs about what what has been invented in Korea. I have heard teenage boys tell me that ramen, the computer, cars, etc... were all invented in Korea.
In general, Japanese do not have that that same nationalistic or patriotic attitude.
