americans always compare massive cities to empty states

South Korea has 5x the population of Ohio, but around 27x the number of bars [1]. So it really is a lot of bars.

As someone married to a Korean, I am not surprised in the least. Every single one I have met (males at least) drinks like a fish. It is impossible to describe to a westerner just how ingrained the drinking culture is over there.

Snark aside - I used this site which compares the country question to the location closest to you. I live in ohio. https://www.mylifeelsewhere.com/country-size-comparison/unit...

The entire US and North America is massively more empty relative to almost anywhere else, even most perceptually sparse countries. Many of European countries are 5-10x denser than US.
