South Korea is more the first case than the second, no?

Completely fair.

That said, when there was a proposal to increase standard work hours in South Korea recently, the people rejected it loudly. There is a desire in SK by many to achieve work life balance, which would be something of a slur in Japan.

Everything I've ever seen of Japanese culture would indicate so much as speaking against something like that would get you ostracized by the vast majority.
