Korea has definitely been in the lead for a while now. Look at Samsung, they have THE most advanced and automated Phone manufacturing factory. It has virtually zero human interaction other than techs who maintain the robotics. Not even China has this level of automation. LG and Samsung high end OLED TV's are made with virtually no human touch as well. Their car factories are getting there as is China. Its not fully ready but its getting there quickly.

Japan is behind as has been their technological cadence over their lost decades but there is nothing stopping them from buying these robots and using them as well since they have smart enough people to utilize them. They can also get back into the robotics game as they have many established and well respected robotics companies but granted they are behind the bleeding edge compared to their neighbors.
But only time will tell. This isn't going to happen in the next year or two but will be pretty obvious in around a decade based on projections. Both Japan and Korea will be around for this to take place so I'm personally interested in watching how this develops. Especially within the US as we're developing advanced robotics and AI as everyone knows.
