It struck me as odd that Korea's portrayed as the taller one, but turns out japanese women really are smaller on average.

So is this a relationship between two women from Korea and Japan, or is it a relationship between two personifications of the countries?

^ From what I've been following from the trend (which should be about half a day less than the Dynasty Discord as a whole started keeping tabs on it), it's almost certainly the former.
Can't wait for images containing the other Asian countries' women to get here too. Although the trend seems to still mostly be Japanese/Korean thing, it had long since broken the barrier into places like China, Taiwan, Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines, and even as far away as India and Pakistan

@Zesc Koreans in general are 'normal' in terms of height, at least measured by European standards. Japan is the outlier here, likely because of genetic trends due to being an island nation.

The artists of this trend tends to depict Korean women as more dominant and Japanese women as more cute and submissive, which I find interesting. I think it's influenced by idol culture in Japan and Korea (and other medias) from how I see it. For example, Korean groups like LE SSERAFIM and TWICE often do mature concepts, while Japanese groups like AKB48 does cuter concepts.

@KomradeBicycle I've had a misconception about Korean and Chinese body height as below average. I guess I saw how people in India, the southeast asia and Japan are smaller, connected the dots (literally, on a map) and decided the same applies to Korea too. Though being central european doesn't help with accurate assessment of body height either.
