Japan and South Korea seem low, but keep in mind that they have a huge issue of people being expected to work overtime without documenting it.

There is a large part time worker population in Japan. If you remove part timers the average is around 2000 hours for 2019

In South Korea you are not allowed to work more than 52 hours a week. Generally, you work approximately 40 hours a week.

40 is what you are allowed to report, and doesn't count compulsory participation in dinners and karaoke/noraebangs

Are there strikes in KR regularly?

I don't think this accounts for unpaid hours and the not at all voluntary socials in some countries such as Japan.
