And by culture I'm talking about things such as food, history, clothing, language, religion, traditions, etc. Let's keep politics and societal issues out of this.

My vote goes to Japanese. I think Japan has the most interesting history of the four countries. And it also has my favorite language in East Asia. As for its pop culture... well Japan has tons of video games and anime, so it's not really fair to compare. But when it comes to cinema, Hong Kong has produced a lot of quality titles. Also, I prefer Chinese food to Japanese and Korean(a bit too spicy).

Korean and Chinese culture have a lot of interesting aspects as well. Chinese history is huge and very interesting. The most interesting one after Japanese, imo. The Korean language has sort of grown on me as well. And I love the way Hangul looks on paper. Simple and functional alphabet. You can learn it in like a day or two. Seriously.

Sadly, I don't know that much about Mongolia other than Genghis Kahn's era.
