It's hard to ascertain the exact influence of Mongols in my opinion. In parts of Asia, their influence is mostly negative while in other parts, their influence is positive. There were also pre-Mongol Empire Mongolic polities/tribes.
I don't find myself particularly attached to modern Japanese culture, but I did in the past. I can't deny that it has influence in the realm of pop culture and how Japanese products are considered to be superior. But the only thing I like about Japan now are some of the girls, namely the personality and their looks.
There's nothing much to say Korea. They have good marketing skills, a lot of young people and women are interested in K-pop and K-dramas. Unfortunately, this influence has made many Asians, especially Southeast Asians having some kind of inferiority complex towards Japanese, Koreans, Chinese to some extent. I think it's probably some feeling of inadequacy, but I think they need to feel more pride in their own culture rather than pretending and wanting to be someone they're not.
Vietnam in the past exerted influence and dominance over their neighbors to the south and to the west. But now it's a different story.
