Their kimbap is just Japanese sushi
Their folk customs are Chinese
Their comics are just generic mangaslop
Their pop music is just American or Japanese ripoffs (EXO is still kino though)
Their Squid Game is just Japanese survival game series a la Alice in Borderland or Kaiji
Their Christianity is derived from America
I guess you can say kimchi is original, but I suspect even that originated from China

Jesse and Walt sit at folding chairs in a decaying middle school science lab. There’s a whiteboard covered in scribbles: “ASIA: CULTURE SUPPLY CHAIN.” Jesse’s eating gas station kimbap out of a plastic tray.

JESSE
Yo, this sushi is weird. It’s like… sushi but mid.

WALT
It’s kimbap, Jesse. Korean. Not Japanese.

JESSE
Right, right. Korean sushi. Like how their pop songs are just, like, anime music with better shoes.

WALT
(sighs)
You're like a Reddit thread in human form.

TITLE SEQUENCE – BREAKING BAD
ACT ONE – INT. SAUL GOODMAN’S OFFICE – DAY
Saul is pacing while Jesse lounges, flipping through a copy of "WEBTOON Weekly" with a confused expression.

SAUL
Let me get this straight. You two want to smuggle what into Korea?

WALT
Methylamine. There’s a pipeline. Quiet but lucrative. Seoul has a scene. Demand is rising.

JESSE
Bro, they got, like, Squid Game and cyberpunk billionaires and bibimbap vending machines. They’re all hustle.

SAUL
And you think you can outmaneuver Korean customs with meth and Wikipedia-level cultural takes?

ACT TWO – INT. CHEAP SEOUL APARTMENT – NIGHT
Walt and Jesse are laying low in Korea, surrounded by bootleg anime figures, K-pop posters, and a guy named Min-su who speaks fluent English and only eats convenience store triangle kimbap.

MIN-SU
You Americans always say our stuff is copied. But we make it better. Our sushi doesn’t rot in two hours. Our comics update daily, bro. Our dramas? Ten times the budget of that “Kaiji” nonsense.

WALT
(condescending)
Derivative innovation is still innovation.

JESSE
What does that even mean? Yo, Min-su, what’s like, real Korean? Like not sushi, not manga, not… Jesus?

MIN-SU
(pause)
Bong Joon-ho. Fried chicken. Screaming at StarCraft.

ACT THREE – INT. INTERNET CAFE – LATER
Jesse’s playing StarCraft with teens while Walt meets a black market contact.

JESSE
(to Korean teenager)
Yo, you guys ever hear of Naruto?

TEENAGER
(scoffs)
Boomer.

Jesse stares, stunned.

ACT FOUR – EXT. SEOUL BACK ALLEY – NIGHT
The meth deal is going down, but Walt’s distracted, watching a street performer do a traditional Korean drumming dance.

WALT
(quietly)
Maybe they didn’t invent it all. But they mastered the remix.

Deal goes wrong. Jesse throws a kimbap roll at a fleeing buyer. Walt escapes through a side alley filled with neon hanbok rentals.

FINAL SCENE – INT. SEOUL AIRPORT – DEPARTURE LOUNGE
Walt reads a book on Korean philosophy. Jesse scrolls through K-pop dance tutorials.

JESSE
So... maybe this place ain’t just a bootleg China-Japan-America mashup, huh?

WALT
No, Jesse. It’s what comes after imitation. It's synthesis. Evolution. The same way I took your trash cook and made it art.

JESSE
Bro. You just compared Korea to meth.

WALT
(smiling coldly)
Exactly.

FADE TO BLACK.

Squids are a nation of cucks with no imagination, so they copy whatever their occupier is doing. Under Japan they took Japanese names and wore Japanese clothing, under the USSR they became communist and dressed like Bolshevik spergs, and under the US they convert to Christianity and get plastic surgery to look European.

They have no identity or culture of their own, they have no history and no accomplishments or inventions to their name. Their past is a saga of perpetual victimhood. They are an abortion of human evolution.

The korean economic level was that of 11 century Europe tier when you found us in 19 century. It was a atheist shithole nation, worshipping some dead Chinese scholar that died a thousand year ago.

Japanese actually DID come from Korea during the Yayoi period. Picrel.

They are only slightly different today because they absorbed the Jamon natives who were on the island first.
