    Hi there !

    I'm an expat in South Korea, and I came across those guys below while going to work:

    Now, they look like hops, but are they Lupulus or Japonicus?

    1st spot:

    3rd spot:

    And the bonus one, a berry bush I've found next to those hops:
    Some kind of Rubus something?

    Cheers !

    I don't know this plant well, but Humulus japonicus is native in Korea, lupulus is not. H. japonicus has leaves with 5-7 lobes, lupulus 3-5.

    The last photo sure looks like Rubus, but I couldn't go any further with ID.
