Forbes released its ranking of the world’s top 10 powers in 2025, with South Korea ranking sixth. Shaking

You might think it’s ridiculous, but lol. First of all, the soup is filling up, and you can’t believe it, but it’s true. There’s a background to this decision. I understand it to some extent

. The ranking was determined by comprehensively evaluating various factors such as economic power, political influence, international alliances, military power, and leadership influence.

Here are the main reasons why South Korea ranked 6th.

• Economic Power: GDP is one of the top 10 economies in the world and has global leadership in high-tech industries such as semiconductors, electronics, and automobiles.
• Technological Innovation: It is recognized as a technology powerhouse with excellent competitiveness in AI, semiconductors, 5G, and robots, centered on large companies such as Samsung and Hyundai Motor.
• Military Power and Defense Industry: The defense budget is among the top 10 in the world, and its own fifth-generation fighter jets and advanced weapon systems are competitive in the global market.
• International Influence: We are strengthening our soft power and diplomatic power through major economic blocs and alliances, activities by international organizations, and expansion of Hallyu culture.
• Strong leadership and civil competence: democratic institutions, high educational standards, and civil society growth are contributing to the improvement of national competitiveness.

With this multi-faceted rally of power, South Korea is considered the sixth most powerful country in the world in 2025.

Well, I’m happy. I’m chosen by Forbes India
