Does S Korea also have the problem of a rigid and corrupt 2 party system?
There are two big parties and four smaller parties represented in the (current) National Assembly, but the Democratic Party has a majority by itself. The current President belongs to the other big party (People's Power).
People's Power? If that isn't one of the most commie names I've ever heard for a political party.
Except that they’re conservative lol
I was like “wow so futuristic” when I first learned that the monopoly on Japanese government is through the Liberal Democratic Party. Lmao when I found out the rest of the story.
“Liberal Democratic Party”, rules for decades uninterrupted, representing the largest capitalist families and the USA and cracks down and any leftists sentiment, sometimes extremely violently. Cool! Cyberpunk!
Yeahhh… shit makes it really difficult to follow global national politics

Not sure. What I do know is that Korean parliament occasionally gets into actual mob-on-mob brawls. So there's that.
