this is not really true. maybe internet infrastructure but even seoul does not have plumbing nailed down correctly. have you ever seen a SEA toilet where they put the used paper in trash bins instead of flushing? many many houses in seoul are also like that because the pipes are not made for flushing. Then there is the smell. it might be very clean in streets visually but the air is seriously fucked in many places mostly from bad plumbing infrastructure.
then there is noise pollution in the city. stores have people outside yelling to attract customers 24/7 as well as loud radios playing latest kpap.
don't be fooled by glorification of foreigners by western people
