• 3.5% of People in South Korea Were Born Abroad — In 1990 It Was 0.04%In 1990, 18,499 people living in South Korea had been born abroad — 0.04% of the population. In 2024 it is 1.81 million, or 3.5%, just under the world average of 3.7%. Sort the same data by head count instead of share and an entirely different list of countries appears.
• South Korea's Fertility Rate Is 0.72 — By 2050 It Will Be Older Than JapanSouth Korea's 2023 fertility rate was 0.72 births per woman — the lowest of the 53 countries this site tracks. UN population projections put its 65-and-over share at 39.7% by 2050, overtaking Japan (37.5%), the country usually cited as the world's oldest.
• Why South Korea Ranks Among the World's Densest Countries: SeoulAmong the 53 countries WhatsThePop tracks, South Korea ranks 2nd in population density at 516 people per km². The real driver is Seoul alone — its density of 15,828/km² almost exactly matches Tokyo's 23 wards, and trails cities like Manila.
• 13 Plug Standards, 53 Countries — Only 17 Match South Korea's ExactlyWe checked the plug type and voltage for all 53 countries WhatsThePop tracks. There are 13 distinct standards — only 17 match South Korea's C/F, 220V setup exactly, and 16 need a completely different adapter.
• Adjusted for PPP: Iceland Drops 16%, Egypt Jumps 7.6×Recalculating GDP per capita in purchasing-power-parity (PPP) terms reshuffles the rankings once more. Iceland's figure drops 16%; Egypt's jumps 7.6×. The same phrase, 'income per person,' measures something different in each country.
• The World's 2nd-Biggest Economy Ranks 33rd Per Capita — Why 'Big Economy' Isn't 'Expensive Travel'Among the 53 countries WhatsThePop tracks, China has the 2nd-largest total economy but ranks 33rd per capita — just 38% of South Korea's figure.
