In the western fandom, yes, in the Japanese its political reasons. Korea's culture though is influenced by Japanese culture anyway since Japan had control of of it. Because of this, in both North and South Korea you'll find remains of those days gone by... I know one business man I met in the early 00's from Japan claimed Korea was "like Japan was 40 years ago", its not shared by everyone in Japan but there are some who are not without their own thoughts on the matter.

Due to the nature of Vocaloid, in this case its vocaloid expanding into other languages merely and not a direct case of "Korea copying Japan" as they put it. But some see SeeU herself as an attempt to copy Miku. This would make some feel uncomfortable (because Miku is such a special nowflake no one is allowed to copy or appear to be influenced by her *urgh*).

Often all this amounts to pitty bias, the likes some groups of vocaloids have been fighting since 2007. :-/
