I served in South Korea. Soju is not a weaker vodka; I can assure you of that.

They probably meant to say sake. It’s far stronger.

Soju is to Korea as sake is to Japan. OP mentioned Korea so it's unlikely a mistake. And Sake is a similar rage for abv. It's naturally brewed and not distilled. Most yeast dies around 20% abv so virtually no naturally brewed product can get stronger. Vodka and other spirits are distilled so the skys the limit. Most are 40% for historic tax reasons.
