Is Ba Sing Se supposed to be North Korea though? I mean, do the location, people, clothing, etc. take cues from Korean culture at all? I don't know but I've never made that connection. It seemed to me like the usual 1984 Brave New World Fahrenheit 451 schtick
There's Korean architecture in the Earth Kingdom and in the Fire Nation, though I don't know about in Ba Sing Se specifically. Ba Sing Se is definitely supposed to be Evil Oppressive China though.
