I think Japanese language has very few pronunciation possibilities, so I think for Koreans, it may be easier to learn Japanese.
For Europeans, it is the same, the Japanese pronunciation is not a big deal. But Koreans have a very similar grammar, it may help a lot.
But pronunciation and grammar are not enough to be able to learn a new language, you need to learn vocabulary. It should take a lot of time even if some words may be similar, I think most of the words are quite different.
But somehow Koreans people can learn very fast, a friend of mine can understand fluent Japanese after learning in 4 months only, and can speak very well too (not fluent yet)
