Samsung is not a Japanese company, but a South Korean company.

Samsung is a South Korean based company.

However, many people except Japanese and Korean mistake Samsung to be a Japanese based company. According to the survey by KOTRA(Korean Trade-Investment Promotion Agency) in 2009 (see Searchina's article), 25.9% of foreign people think Samsung is a Japanese company(59.7%: a Korean Company, 10.4%: a Chinese company). Some Chinese people misunderstand it too, even though China is a neighboring country of Japan and South Korea. In China in 2012, Samsung's shop was attacked by Chinese rioters who were frustrated with JAPAN (see dongA.com's article). As said before, Samsung is a SOUTH KOREAN company.

Why do many people think Samsung is a Japanese company? There are three reasons.

First of all, many people don't know Japan and South Korea are SEPARATE countries. If you see the map below, you will get to know Japan and South Korea are separate countries.

Map created from DEMIS Mapserver, which are public domain, and then edited and location names added by the writer.

Secondly, Samsung have actively adopted Japanese technology. For instance, Samsung have picked out employees of Japanese manufacturers, such as Toshiba, Sony, Panasonic, Sanyo, Sharp, NEC and so on. In addition, Lee Kun-hee, Chairman of Samsung Electronics, has a degree in economics from Waseda University in Tokyo. Waseda University is one of leading universities in Japan.

The third, Samsung uses images of Japan for its advertising. For example, Samsung used a ninja(忍者) for its television commercial. A ninja is a kind of spy or assassin who lived in JAPAN beginning in the 14th century (If you don't know a ninja, see wikipedia). Here is the TV commercial.

    1. To Adriano polini: If you're going to talk about thieves... the Japanese government stole ~62,000 Korean artifacts from Royal Tombs, and ~200,000 women to use as sex slaves... didn't the Japanese auto and electronics companies start out in the 50's and 60's by copying the Americans?

    2. and japanese makers have a long history .they didnt copy ! they learn and inovate and that is the diference between JAPAN and ( kirea-china) copiers

      Delete
    3. I don't know why people say Japan never copies. Look at Japanese culture. Even their language! All have heavy Chinese influence...

      Delete
    4. You idiot. In the very past Chinese people have told the Japanese people all about their culture and Japan understood them and done what they said. That is not coping if the China made them like that.

      Delete
    5. Yes, Japan is a country with heavy Chinese influence, and Japanese did "copy" the Western technology, but improved it. The Korean companies however, takes technology from others, and sell it directly with cheaper price tags (no need to research=cheaper) Also, seri-park, the government did not STEAL the artifacts.

    6. Read up Japanese friends... it seems your education system is far behind the rest of the world and definitely behind Korea.. Most of Japanese culture was imported from Korea and China HELL you guys even learned about boat making and politics from Koreans...
      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korean_influence_on_Japanese_culture
      What and after reading it you're going to say Koreans edited it and falsified it? you guys are really laughable

    7. As a foreigner i can say Japanese products are less valued than Korean products in the west.

  5. Ridiculous! Why do you comment about the degree of the chairman of Samsung? That explanation is so non-sense. And, Who made that advertisement? It is RadioShack!

    ReplyDelete
  6. Dear Anonymous,

    Thank you for providing a useful comment.

    We need to add some explanation.

    First, members of the founding family of Samsung go to study in Japan. Lee Byung-chul, who is the founder of Samsung group and Lee Kun-hee's father, was a student at Waseda University. Lee Jae-yong, Lee Kun-hee's son, has an MBA degree from Keio University. Keio is also one of leading universities in Japan.

    Second, Samsung used Mt.Fuji for its television commercial broadcast in Europe. It was made by Samsung, not a retail store such as RadioShack.

  7. I saw one comment written from japanese , he said japanese maker didnt copy . Do you think its true ?
    After the World War 2 Japan copied most of technology and design from Europe and America .
    I realize some Korean and Chinese company copied Japan , but who doesnt know Japanese copied a lot from other country as well. Shame on you Japan.
    How dare you call them copycat , Japan is orginal copycat country

    1. After the Soviet Union have won the World War 2. America went to Japan and told all their stuff and that is how they learned it. While Korea without telling Japan anything they just stole all of their ideas and made the shitty company.

      Delete
    2. What kind of bs do you japs learn at school. Japanese went to europe and america to learn Just like the Koreans. Koreans didnt copy anything from you why would we. Even the KTX is based on French TGV designs but Japanese people are so afraid Koreans are beating them in something else so they say Koreans stole Japanese designs. Absolute bs. Korea buys designs from Europe while Japanese stole from europeans.

  9. only reason people think its a Japanese company is because Samsung is normally good quality... Chinese and some Korean stuff is usually crap..

    1. Yeah, which is why Toyota has been dodged with so many recalls in the past three years.

  10. Great to see Samsung has adopted a number of advanced technologies. One example is customized app for samsung copier singapore using Android interface to control.

    ReplyDelete
  11. So when Japan does it, it's learning and adopting -- but when Korea does the same thing, it's copying and stealing? Yeah, Japan is an "exceptional" country all right, always pleading exceptions for itself only! Learn shame, Japan.

    ReplyDelete
  12. Influence does not mean appropriation. Both cultures, Japanese and Korean received influence from Chinese culture; they did not copy or appropiated Chinese culture. Eventually the new advances received suffer changes to accomodate to the other culture and necessities of that specific population.

    Chinese culture, by the way, is not free from external influences either. China received influence from Persian culture and Indian culture. You can see how Buddhism that came form India has strongly impacted Chinese culture. To a lesser degree some Japanese culture has also found its way into Chinese culture. See for example, folding fans, they were invented in Japan but were adopted by the Chinese as well as Koreans and other Asian cultures and Europe.

    When it comes to Samsung, in this case I think "copy" means plagiarism and the use of Japan's cultural icons to attract buyers given that Japanese culture is more known, appreciated and even fetished around the world (marketing stratetgy).

    ReplyDelete
  13. japan learn things and give credits to where they copied it. just like kanji, all japanese language students are taught that kanji is from china. copying is ok as long as you admit it, japan copied from the west but nowhere does japan say they invented everything. what japan did is to innovate and that is what they are baosting of. korea is the copying machine, and they don't even want to admit copying.... they don't even want to admit that their first modernization is indtroduced by japan to them, like their haidong kumdo LOL

    2. What about your Hiragana? A japanese professor gave evidence it was a direct copy of Silla Korean script and Japanese people silenced him because of that. Seems like Japanese always copy and are hypocrites.

  14. Japanese nationalists are the laughing stock of Asia. Your entire country is based off of Baekje Korean culture and Chinese culture most of the powerful 'Japanese clans' ancestors were royals from Baekje Korea and your ancestors even came to fight for their Baekje Korean governors when it was overthrown by Silla Korea and China. Your culture is the product of culture spreading from China to Korea and then to Japan. Japan was a land of tribal barbarians before Koreans introduced the idea of states and kingdoms to them.

    With that kind of inferiority complex Japanese people tried to invade Korea and when you finally succeeded the first thing you did was try to destroy all historical records of your past as a tributary of Baekje and tried to modify the Gwangaeto stele so that it would say Korea was always ruled by Japan you guys are laughable, luckily historians knew Japan would do that so we called out your bs. Even your emperor is Korean. Japan is the company of copying and paedophiles pls stfu and learn your place. everyone knows the japanese economy is crumbling.

    Your people are so sad they comment on every single korean video on youtube are you worried because Koreans are overtaking you again? Koreans took over your pop culture then the technology industry then the IT industry. WOOOW Japanese must be getting a huge inferiority complex, always trying to take what belongs to others. Stay out of Korea and calm down.

  15. Samsung doesn't market its products as Japanese they don't even pretend to be Japanese. Samsung always announces it is a Korean company and sponsors many international events as a Korean company. Only misinformed foreigners believe it is a vaguely asian company which may be Chinese and Japanese. It's really sad that Japanese are so jealous they want to take Samsung to be theirs now. Also there's no motive for Samsung to try look like a Japanese company because most of the western world don't trust Japanese made products any more...
