As a country established after World War II, South Korea has a history of 73 years since the Republic of Korea was founded in 1948 and Li Chengwan became the first president.

South Korea, located in the south of the Korean Peninsula in East Asia, is surrounded by the sea on three sides, the Yellow Sea in the west, the Korean Strait in the southeast and the Sea of Japan in the east. About the origin of this country, we should start from the late Eastern Han Dynasty in China. According to the biography of the Three Kingdoms of 50,000 Xianbei to the East, it is recorded that "at the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Han State was strong, the counties could not control it, and many people flowed into South Korea". This is the earliest documentary record that the regime of the Korean Peninsula is called "Korea" in history. Since then, many regimes on the Korean peninsula have used nicknames related to "Korea" even if they did not use "Korea" as the country name.

South Korea, like North Korea, lacks biological resources, minerals and other resources. However, unlike North Korea, in the 1960s, South Korea followed the pace of development of the times, implemented an "export-oriented" economic development strategy, and transformed South Korea, which lacked resources, into an innovative country focusing on manufacturing and service industries, which not only created the economic development known as the "miracle of the Hanjiang River", but also directly became one of the "Four Little Dragons of Asia" and another developed capitalist country.

Although South Korea is less than100000 square kilometers with a total population of more than 50 million, its economy started relatively late compared with many countries, but its development speed is very rapid. It took less than forty years for GNP per capita to increase from $87 to 10548. As one of the founding countries of the World Trade Organization (WTO), besides manufacturing and service industries, South Korea's electronic technology industry has also developed rapidly. In addition to the well-known Internet services in China, products such as memory and LCD also occupy a certain position in the world market. This is also an important reason why South Korea can slowly develop from an unknown small country into a relatively developed country.
