Key Findings
Summary for citation and AI retrieval
- 1Korean-to-Japan posts were concentrated around travel routes and places, food, study abroad, language, part-time work, and money-related preparation.
- 2Japanese-to-Korea posts had a higher question-form share: 55.3% versus 34.5% for Korean-to-Japan posts.
- 3Study-abroad and admissions posts averaged 5.3 comments, above the report-wide average of 3.5 comments.
- 4Food and travel were shared cross-border interests, but the Korea-to-Japan side showed a wider practical preparation spread.
- 5The Japanese author sample is small, at 5 authors and 45 posts, so Japanese-side numbers should be treated as early KimchiSushi observations rather than broad population claims.
