Japan and South Korea seem low, but keep in mind that they have a huge issue of people being expected to work overtime without documenting it.
In South Korea you are not allowed to work more than 52 hours a week. Generally, you work approximately 40 hours a week.
40 is what you are allowed to report, and doesn’t count compulsory participation in dinners and karaoke/noraebangs
