That's true of coastal locations (Tokyo, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Singapore), although Bangkok has some 2700 hours. More inland cities such as Beijing are quite sunny indeed (not talking about pollution!)

Chongqing is inland and it gets like 1000 hours a year lol.
^^ Those chinese cities are extraordinary in their cloudiness and their cold winters. These places are at 28-30°N and have winters with highs averaging under 10C and low close to 0.
Imagine Brisbane or Florida with winters like Vancouver!

Yeah thank the mighty Siberian Anticyclone. Much of Northeastern Asia is rainless during the winter months.
Shanghai has winters about on par with London (colder nights and slightly warmer days) but despite it being the 'dry season' it gets plenty of cloud and drizzle.
Seoul to me is probably the most amazing of the lot. Both further SOUTH and nearer the coast than Beijing, it still manages to be just as cold! That's a bit like Virginia Beach being as cold as Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
I would take the Seoul winter because I'd at least be guarenteed a much hotter/humid summer than Melbourne could ever offer. Avg high 30°C, average low 23-24°C.

Seoul has 5 months of the year colder than Melbourne's coldest month of July.
Yeah I'd take Melbourne's climate any day over Seoul..
record low in Melbourne: -2.8C
record low in Seoul: -24C
number of average annual frost days in Melbourne: 0
number of average annual frost days in Seoul: 92
