As I am in the very early planning stages of creating a Portuguese Asia TL with some inspiration from kasumigenx and Joao97 (with irregular updates due to my school/work balance), I was wondering if it is possible for the Portuguese to influence Korea the same way they did with Japan at around the same time period (mid-16th to 17th centuries), as in discovering them, then trading with Korea like giving firearms, adopting some Western technology and eventually sending Catholic missionaries. How would the arrival of the Portuguese impact Korean history during that time? Would the Imjin war still be roughly the same as OTL?

Also, would it be possible if the Portuguese can gain a Macau-like concession in the Korean peninsula too? In one of my Portugal-based threads, someone said a Portuguese Jeju island is possible.
