From 1961-1979 and 1981-1988 South Korea was ruled by a autocratic dictators by the name Park chung-hee and chun do-hwan who were unique for being the only buddhist and most conservative presidents of south korea.
In addition to developing the country and pursuing nuclear weapons, what if they decided to look to Goryeo, Joseon, and Francoist Spain for inspiration and decided to build a Neo-Confucian state in South Korea. Park also served in the Japanese army.How would an analogue of Francoist Spain resemble?
How plausible is this? How would a Neo-Confucian Korea interact with a stalinist Korea? How about china, japan, Taiwan and USA?
Btw Park put laws restricting the length of women's skirts, so it would not a big stretch.
