I saw a couple of amazing korean movies (oldboy,parasite,the wailing) and I would like to pay more attention to Asian movies. They are making some next level shit. Any recommendations?

If you are looking for series you could try "Extracurricular", a korean series

There's a Korean Zombie show on Netflix called Kingdom. Dumb but very entertaining.

As many people above have suggested I would certainly check out the directors other films of those movies you posted, they are all pretty great.
Korean Films -
I would highly recommend you check out I Saw the Devil if you enjoyed Old Boy, its another incredible and brutal revenge movie from Korea also featuring the lead from Old Boy.
The director of I Saw the Devil also directed an incredible psychological horror called A Tale of Two Sisters which for me I think is hands down my favourite Korean horror no question, with The Wailing being my 2nd favourite. Can't recommend either of them enough.
The Man from Nowhere is also another pretty good Korean Revenge movie but nowhere near on the Calibre of Old Boy or I Saw the Devil which are in a league of their own and I would argue two or the greatest revenge movies ever made.
As far as Japanese films go I am gonna have to compile a list for that one cuz there are tons of great ones. But for starters pretty much any movie by Akira Kurosawa is going to be great.
Also if you like Crime/Mafia stuff, there is a Yakuza franchise called Battles Without Honour and Humanity that is fantastic. It's really brutal stuff, tons of back stabbing and action and awesome characters with a really awesome Japanese Jazz Score, and it's all based off of a memoire from a real life Yakuza boss the names are just swapped around; so it's mostly true. Can't recommend this serious enough, it's a hell of a ride.

Train to Busan is a great korean zombie movie
If you like martial arts I'd recommend movies starred by Donnie Yen such as Legend of the First: Return of Chen Zen, Flashpoint, Killzone, Dragon Tiger Gate etc.
