In all honesty, a punch is a punch, it just depends on WHERE you strike, which could be almost anywhere. There are various different hand strikes in karate / Martial Arts besides punching, such as: Knifehands, ridgehands, palm heels, eye rakes, etc.

Five kicks that we learn are Front, Back, Side, Roundhouse and Stomp kicks.

Karate works with one main punch, a simple straight punch, the target being high, low or middle. There are limited applications for the backfist and a 'tate' punch, which are not very strong.

There really is only one punch. It is named differently based on whether it is aimed high, middle or low. There is also a back fist and hammer fist, which along with the 'chop' are the primary hand techniques.

Which aspects of Tae Kwon Do are distinctly Korean and different from karate?

I believe that because the Koreans are taller than most Japanese, taekwondo was based around kicks as it was easier and kicks have more power than punches. Karate, like-wise, is based on punches because it was harder for most Japanese to kick at the height of a Korean's head. That being said.. taekwondo still has plenty of strikes and blocks as karate has many kicks
