> All of Asia started from scratch after WW2 and Korea was only 10 years behind Japan due to their war. The Seoul subway [1] opened its first line in the mid-1970s (8km of line 1). Most of their subway growth opened in 1995 and later, a huge amount post-2000. The first Tokyo subway line [2][3] opened in 1927, with only 3 new lines since the late 1970s (and barely even any line extensions in the 2000s) It feels newer in SK because it is.
