They speak Korean and they were a kpop idol so, pretty sure it's Korean.

These are some photos of Korea...
Looks just like the current chapter to me.
Ji-Woon is a KPOP singer and Yun-Jin is a music producer, so that’s why they’re both so bright and flamboyant. It goes with their aesthetic.

Korean. It's quite obvious, if you know the culture.

Very much Korean

He dresses like Majima but has the face and hair of Joon gi han.

First of all, as a Korean, Korean cities are very diverse.
The night view of Seoul is not just beautiful.
There are bibimbap and bean sprout rice in Jeonju. There are many things.
Of course, all cities have different nights and days.
I can't tell you about this through games or videos.

I don’t think anybody is saying it isn’t a diverse country though? But using the bright and attractive side of Seoul fits in with the KPOP / music producer lore.
Most media uses the most ‘obvious’ and outdated references when representing certain countries. It’s like when somebody British is in something, 9/10 they have the stereotype accent and I’ve never actually met a British person who speaks that way.
I don’t think this chapter was in any way supposed to offend Koreans, but they just went with the brightest art direction they could in order to suit the aesthetic they chose.

here are two accent types you could be referring to here, so either you need to meet me or a Scottish person.

It’s why so many Americans are confused when they hear people from Newcastle or Liverpool speak, as they don’t realise that the UK has so many different accents. They think we all run around talking like Austin Powers. 😂

yeah but we can make leatherface speak korean and have the lore state he is a Kpop idol as well, that does not mean it fits in terms of design, otherwise it would be pretty dan ez to have some representation.

ok care to share some of the knowledge that point towards it clearly not be japanese instead?
because everything from the physical design, to the (voice) acting screams anime japan.

Bright neon backgrounds reminiscent of the more "modern" areas in Seoul, the obvious K-Pop references, and the fact that the killer literally speaks Korean.

An opened shirt with slicked back hair screams yakuza to you?
Have you even seen an actual 80/90's Yakuza from Japan?
VS
Hmmmm, I wonder which one inspired Trickster's looks...

1. Daytime culture and night culture in Korea are also good. However, night culture has its own painful past Korean culture.
2. Someone might be crying a lot behind that shining neon sign.
3. The Han River Bridge is one of the most sad places to visit. Because sensitive issues (suicide) are one of the most popular attractions. So one of the places that people in Korea go when they lose all their lives is the bridge.

Yeah ok, if you are going to be that simple about it then why even reply...
0 -
Yeah I understand that since I'm Korean myself.
But you could say that to any culture around the world.
Japan has the suicide forest and since Yamaoka Estate "happens" to be in a forest, do you think it has any direct correlation to the grim part of Japanese culture?
Absolutely not.
You are delving way too much into this.

Did you see the screenshot I posted of Yakuza? the japanese videogame? set in japan? because....yeah....

That is an over-extended, hyper-exggerated take on the modern Yakuzas.
There are two Korean character there too.
These two are from the EXACT SAME GAME you are talking about.
Do these look like real life gangsters to you?
Joon-gi looks closer to the Trickster than any of the Japanese Yakuzas in the game.
They are also in fact heavily based on Korean fashion and aesthetics so your argument gets less value from pointing this out BTW.

Sega, like a dragon, series. It's a game with Yakuza in the background. There was also a Korean background gangster in the second movie. But it was a mess, and the translation was a mess. It's exaggerated. Recognition

Is the literal language the killer speaks "simple"? What did you expect, exactly?
0 -
GD!
Sorry, carry on.
0 -
its not about them looking like real life gangsters?
its about this dlc not feeling like its korean but rather just japanese in every way apart from the backdrop and the fact that they happen to speak korean, but that would be like playing this game in germany and the characters being dubbed over and suddenly you therefor claiming they are german characters....
Its just way too vague, never before was I disappointed by BHVR's devision responsible for this...but now...now I am, its just bad.

Apparently, the background reminiscent of nightlife downtown Seoul, the many mentions of the city in both characters backstories and the fact that the Trickster literally speaks the language during his Mori, isn't enough to convince that guy that this Chapter is infact themed after (South) Korea.
No point arguing with ignorant people who choose to stay that way.

Here's a question to OP: What would "feel" Korean to you?
0 -
He throws knives that look likejapanese kunai, has weird grunts like an anime character....kind of hard to tell
0 -
But, K-Pop idols do wear what Trickster wears in real life.
That's the point.
You really think the devs looked at Yakuza games and were inspired by their "fictional depiction"? or do you think they were just looking at K-Pop idols?
I just think you've never actually seen an actual Yakuza in real life.
I have. In Japan, in Tokyo.
I've also seen plenty of K-Pop idols since I'm Korean and my uncle is in the part of the industry.
and I can tell you that his perfect hair, skin, clothes and even his mannerisms all scream "K-POP Idol" than a "Japanese Yakuza".
Just accept the truth.
