the difference between misdemeanors in the United States and South Korea

(1)When it comes to misdemeanors in Korea, minor violations of laws, fines, and short detention, etc
(2)Misdemeanors in the United States can be sentenced to a crime that is not a felony and can be arrested, even if it is literally light
(3)I think it’s a translation issue
(4)There’s a separate word for misdemeanor
(5)Also, felony is a felony, which is usually translated as a felon
(6)Spitting on the side of the road is an infraction, and robbing convenience stores is treated as misdemeanors in Korea
(7)But if you say that it’s a misdemeanor to rob a mart in the U.S.
(8)In the United States, even if you rob a mart, you’re on the same level as spitting!That’s what I misunderstood. But that’s not it
