While there has been decent semiconductor performance, the gains in EWY have come primarily from the exceptional year for the Won and corporate governance reform. Korea has lots of highly discounted, overcapitalised stocks on its market, and changes to the dividend tax code, as well as other mandated changes, are closing the discount. The discount on single stocks is still very present, and it will likely take a while for companies to change their ways, but like Japan things are improving.
