Korean SEALs huh? *lol* Well some international billets are available at our United States of America - BUD/S training. Meaning soldiers from other country's get the opportunity to train at BUD/S (very limited number, but there are some). These soldiers you refer to as Koren SEALs, I assume you are referring to the South Korean military's Special Operations units. I dont know what their exact "name" is, but they do have their own schooling for their soldiers. As far as which training is "harder" that can't really be answered since it is a matter of opinion. BUD/S is known as the "toughest training in any military in any country" by many different entities. Dont anybody get into a pissing contest here with, "SF training is the toughest or Delta is harder..." blah, blah, blah. Im just stating that if you research and see what everyone (independently - not people from each branch think or what wannabes think) says, BUD/S is labeled as the "toughest." Of course everyone likes to think they are the toughest. Who cares. Back to the question - I do not know what training the Korean Special Ops soldiers do go through, but I will assure you it is a strenuous, well-run program. As to whether or not it is more difficult than BUD/S - I dont know. I never attended their schooling. But considering that countries around the world want to send the "best of the best" of their soldiers to our BUD/S training...draw your own conclusions...*lol* Hoo yah........

They are "not" Korean SEALs. They are the 707th Special Missions Battalion (ROKA SOCOM), South Koreas Primary Counter Terrorist Quick Reaction Force. You know where they get their training? Besides their PT they train with Incursari, Hong Kong, and US Army 1st Special Forces Group.
There's about 300 operators (some female) on 14 man teams. They train six months infantry combat then six months special warfare & parachuting. They are known to have "one of" the most stringent training because they swim without thermal protection in freezing water and do calisthenics in 6" of snow in sub-zero temps. Not even in the same league as SEALs though over all.
