Where is Korea?

Few months ago, I learned that many foreigners do not have any idea where Korea is located. I am writing this post to show the location and surroundings of Korea.

So, here is the map of Korea. As many of you know, Korea peninsula is divided into North Korea and South Korea. North Korea is a communist country and South Korea is a democratic country. North Korea's capital and the largest city is Pyeongyang. South Korea's capital and also the largest city is Seoul.

Koreas are surrounded by Yellow Sea, East Sea and South Sea. As for countries, North Korea borders with Russia and China while South Korea is close to Japan (across the sea).

I hope you know now where North Korea and South Korea are located on earth.
