What netizens are saying
I have literally zero percent interest in other countries' royal families.
Japan seems to maintain its imperial family because of its strong collectivist and hierarchical culture.
The British royal family has a completely different historical and financial context.
Why Koreans care
South Korea lacks a royal culture, and the general public views foreign monarchies with complete apathy, sparking relatable online discussions about cultural differences.
Our take
The public's view on foreign monarchy systems reflects a practical and detached perspective stemming from a different cultural background.
