Lol..certainly many people still don't really know how koreans' english level are. Generally, they are not only horrible at speaking, they also terrible at speaking, listening and writing. Malaysians' english level are way way better in every aspect. Not that Malaysians are that good, many are terrible also but in average we are quite okay. Just check the english proficiency ranking. At one point we even surpassed Singapore as no.1 in Asia, but now we dropped behind Singapore and Philippine.
It doesn't matter if their test are harder, but the average score for the test also much2 lower than our SPM despite they being so studious(to the point only sleep 3,4 hours only and spent the rest of time studying) and they took only few subjects compare to us.
By the way, i've seen their english SAT and for me it's not really more difficult, they just trying to make it more 'fancy' with their sentences and questions. For me it's not really necessary, and it's not correct way to educate people to learn english so that might explain why their comprehension level are bad. I've taken IELTS before, and the difficulty level and how they construct the questions are slightly better, but it's more similar to our SPM than Korean english SAT.

Same, our standards down the drain since 1980 when buttseks minister take over as Edu minister. Even chinese and malays speak english worse than their grandparents. Also write also worse than speak since can't cut and paste. 50% here in /k can be good example.
I’m not too proud because all these managers and vendors at my workplace from korea cannot even understand simple written english. If their english exams are harder than us why can’t they even understand? They can’t converse well in english, it’s okay I will write in english. They still can’t fucking understand. Working with them for 4 years now It seems that they’re the one that is too proud. Korea this great, korea that great. I’m not proud, just wondering.
If every exam you study for is tough and there is very few English media around you, how well do you think you will learn English in their environment? Some YouTuber from UK has explained it before, it's not that they don't know English, it's just that they lack speaking practice and the confidence to speak it because they had a hard time learning it.
Just be considerate. Not every country is like Malaysia.
P.S. I have met Koreans with fluent English so let's not generalize.

beside my shop thr is a korean restaurant run by korean nationals, got chnged a few korean owners n staffs before, i think i met around 10 diff korean ppl since they opened
n not a single one of them can speak decent english or at least communicate well in basic english
everytime they come we hav a hard time understnding wat they say, cannot pronounce words well n most of the time we just use hand or google the pic to communicate
thr was a young korean guy that have decent english but his pronounciation is also very off n he can barely complete a sentence in english oso, most of the time just say one word oni, like if he wan to buy cable then he will just say "cable, cable?" instead of "u sell cable here?"
