The Kyrgyz were historically nomadic pastoralists, and their lifestyle favored low inhibition and violent demeanor.
IIRC, they were and are still considered to be "wild" in comparison to their (historically) settled neighbors, such as the Uzbeks.
As a Korean, the striking difference in behavior between us and the Kyrgyz is interesting, given our phenotypical similarities.

The worst of the large-scale clashes occurred in the cities of Osh and Uzgen. The violence was not just confined to urban zones; in the villages surrounding Uzgen and the Osh countryside, Kyrgyz herders, often going by horseback, terrorized Uzbek farmers with rape, murder, and property destruction.[9] In the foothills of Bak-Archa, four Kyrgyz shepherds rode many kilometers to kill the family of an Uzbek beekeeper.[10] Uzbek tea houses (choyxonas) were also targeted, and several reports involve the abduction and rape of female tea house-goers.[11]

Crowds of Kyrgyz from the countryside flocked to Osh, Jalal-Abad, and other towns to join the local Kyrgyz and Uzbek crowds to attack each other's neighborhoods. From 11 June through 14 June, there were killings and tortures, looting and setting fire to homes and businesses.
According to sources from the ethnic Uzbek community, at least 700 ethnic Uzbeks were killed in Jalal-Abad, where clashes were less intense than in Osh.[57] According to local sources, in Osh from 1,526[58] to more than 2,000[59] people died in the pogroms. Residents of Jalal-Abad claimed that at least 2,000 people died in total and the official figures were too low.[28] The Uzbek edition of Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty reported on 16 June 2010, that 2,608 Uzbeks had been killed since the beginning of the clashes.[60]
The killings were performed with fearsome cruelty – many victims were raped and burned alive.[62][63] Armed gangs tried to prevent the wounded from receiving first aid. In Jalal-Abad crowds attacked the hospital where the wounded were receiving treatment.[64] The violence was facilitated by neglect from local police and military. Moreover, many sources and international organizations claimed that the local military actively participated in the ethnic clashes and looting.[65]

The trigger of the clashes was a brawl between four or five young local citizens and Egyptian students in a dormitory on May 13th at about 02:00.[4][5] Kyrgyzstani young men demanded cigarettes, which Egyptians refused.[6] An existing video footage depicts Egyptian students attacking Kyrgyzstani men.[7]
Later, it sparked retaliation by Kyrgyz mobs against foreigners in the country. Initially, over 100 Kyrgyz gathered "to take revenge on the foreigners who beat up residents."[10]
On Kyrgyz social media, rioters sent messages calling on locals to come out and attack foreigners. Streets were extremely dangerous as hundreds of Kyrgyz rioters were mercilessly beating any foreigner they saw.[14]
