That depends on what countries you compare and the forex rate.
Discussed washlet is half price compared to China/Japan and just a quater compared to Europe.
Furthermore, KRW tends to be weak enough (to EUR) right now to make some things bargains. Nonetheless, it certainly depends on what you're considering to buy.

BTW, the end of the story is that it was impossible to buy a washlet on the spot. Even in Lotte Marts or at Samsung Shops these things are to order only (which warrants the question why there are brick-and-mortar stores at all anymore).
