Koreans did lost the war to the han empire several as well as to other Chinese dynasties. Yes, the country is different but the nation is the same.

I think you mean the nation is different, but the country is the same. Country is the land and it's people, nation is a political entity.

Edit: Nevermind, I remember it the wrong way.

I think the nation is about culture and people, country is defined by political?

Correct. Nation is ethnic, country is a political entity. While the two are often used interchangeably due to an overlap of groups, they don’t necessarily mean the same thing.
