Which country is easier for a foreign doctor to practice medicine: Japan or Korea?

[DoctahWannabe]

I'm from the Philippines and I plan on finishing med school here and then do my medical residency in either of those two countries. Also, is it really hard and almost impossible for foreigners to practice medicine there?

Lol, you need to look at reciprocity. The answer is neither. Those are two of the most protectionist countries out there. Practicing Medicine In Japan?
US MDs practicing in Korea?
Both of these are a no, if you are getting a DO, especially a non-US one.
