How were the histories of early japan and early korea similar?

Korea and Japan have close relationship ever since their ancient histories to this day.  Because of this reason, their economic growth and development have similarities but on the other hand, due to their different characteristics, they also have differences. Throughout the research paper, several similarities and diversities between Korea and Japan could be found.  Two countries had impacts on each other, for example, Korea’s influence in the ancient history and Japanese occupation in Korea.  Both of the two countries have long blossomed histories, distinct art and literature works, that are going through remarkable economic development.  These characteristics like religious beliefs and government policies helped them to grow faster compared to other countries.  They both are major industrial countries with high technology now and they are still growing.  When looking at their efforts to put emphasis on educating the future generations it seems like they will continue to grow in the future as well.
I hope this helps.
