    Data is kind of wrong. Mainly because the definition of a city differs from a source to another, some use urban areas and other stop at administrative boundaries. Using urban areas make more sense, I suggest looking at "Demographia
    - World Urban Areas", according to which in 2018 the largest urban areas are:
    1. Tokyo - 38M
    2. Jakarta - 32M
    3. Delhi - 27M
    4. Manila - 24M
    5. Seoul - 24M

    Seoul should be there if Osaka is there (as the range of suburban is included). The population of city itself is (Osaka 2.7 million, and Seoul is 9.8 million) and even if suburban is included (Osaka is 8.8 million by 2022. November (it is called "Osaka-bu"), However, if you extend the range more, it reaches 22 million (called" Osaka metropolitan area). With the same logic, if you include the suburban of Seoul (it is called "Seoul metropolitan area"), it is over 25 million (25,925,799 in 2019), which is even bigger. I don't know what stats you are using but it seems you should apply the same standard at lesat.
