For Singapore, the country is located in a strategic point for international trade and services. Now, the country is a global hub for for sea transportation. Moreover, the local people know and understand many langagues : chinese english and malaysia. Moreover, the chinese singaporean is very hard working. That's why Singapore is also the regional hub for finances, aviation and tourism.
For Korea, I think the only one factor that made this country well developed is the social value of the country. This social value is about Nationalism and being hard-working. My Korean classmate said that all high school students have to study reallly hard everyday to get a seat in a famous university. They are as hard-working as japanese.
I used to searched over the internet. nominal per-capita GDP for Singapore is more than 30,000 USD, and about 20,000 USD for Korea.
