For example, in Germany you CAN say that the Nazis did some good things (not my opinion!) without getting jailed. You just can't deny the fact that they killed 6 million jews and other "non desired" people etc.

In South Korea, you simply aren't allowed to praise North Korea..

That's two pair of shoes with quite some different sizes.. Germany has clearly overcome their past, while in South Korea, the paranoia about the North is still (rightful or not..) very high.. again, the DPRK is a SH*T place, but this doesn't make some of the South Korean laws any better..
DPRK and ROK are still at war. At least 50 ROK soldiers, in addition to several civilians, have been killed by the North since 2000. Very different pairs of shoes. They could still be some wack laws, or not, but everyone comes from a different history that informs the present.
