#1. I assume you mean economic size when you refer to "population". South Korea's population is only 49 million which is 25th instead of "10" in the list of countries by population.

#2. Korea is already a fully developed country (OECD member, World Bank/IMF advanced economy) and again, are not in the same bracket with the aforementioned developing countries (Brazil, Russia, China, India, Mexico)

From an investor's perspective, I think the South Korean economy (10th in economic size, as you noted) has a lot in common with the remaining five markets, but as you say, it's not technically in the same category as far as the international community is concerned.
