So this question has probably been asked before, but here goes:

Japan's Meiji Restoration saw that country modernising rapidly, to the point that it became a Great Power. All the while, the other nations of Asia either remained mired, or became colonies.

Could Korea have experienced a similar growth to Japan? Is there a feasible way that we could have had a Great Power Korea, or even a Korea that modernised at the same pace as Japan OTL?
