The Korean airworthiness authorities might well be able to understand more about the nuanced subtleties of culture and practice at Asiana than the NTSB.

However, I would be very surprised if they came to different conclusions about the factual details and causes. Perhaps there'd be a political preference to try to shuffle some responsibility onto ATC, but it's not clear how that would be achieved.

Korea's not Egypt - it's a sophisticated, well-educated state, and doesn't have members of murderous/deranged communities seeking work in cockpits. If anything, the Egyptian protests about that "accident" just cemented the correctness of the NTSB's conclusions.
