So, in this pre-1900 what if (WI) history thread, the Dutch East India Company (Dutch: Vereenigde Oostindische Compagnie or VOC) was looking for areas within the so-called Indo-Pacific to conquer just to resist its low-lying homeland - hence the Netherlands' name means low-lying lands.
As while the Dutch Republic have already colonised parts of Africa, e.g. Mauritius, South Africa, and Asia, e.g. Formosa, through the VOC branding - then the Dutch Empire would have possessed the potential to conquer the Korean Peninsula unless if the former already taken control of the Formosa island.
Moreover, the outcome of the Netherlands (aka the Dutch Republic) taking control all of Korea meant this prevented the latter from being interfered by the Americans, the Chinese, the Japanese, and as well as the Russians through competing for power. As given by this case, circa 1810s-1840s or 1850s-1880s, the Dutch Empire would have already committed itself to take control of the whole Korean Peninsula before the other powers do, this profoundly meant the Dutch infused its cultural, political, economic, and educational influences into deeply new-found Korean territory - which meant there were such benefits/priorities Korea gained from Dutch control:

- Many Korean dishes would end up being mixed with ingredients used in Dutch dishes over its [Koreans'] own cuisine - this also meant the word kimchi would get bedutched as either kiemtsjie or kimtsjie.
- That also meant, many Korean citizens would get Dutchified as a result of the Dutch Empire (Netherlands) targeting a takeover of Korea.
- Most Koreans would play sports that are deeply ingrained into Dutch culture instead of [American] baseball and basketball, such as for example, cricket.
- As having said earlier that the Netherlands is low-lying, hence which causes floods, therefore its [Dutch Empire's] conquest of the Korean Peninsula would benefit the Dutch from access from Korea's geography, hence they are of highlands - mountainous in translation and comparison to the Dutch Republic.
- Aside from kimchi being kiemtsjie, there were numbers of words, especially given names and surnames, in the Korean language became Dutchified as a result of the Dutch Empire's control of Korea:
- Kim = Kiem
- Jung = Tsjung
- Jae = Tsjee
- Busan = Boesaan
- Ulsan = Oelsaan
- Jang = Tsjang
- Jeju = Tsjetsjoe
- Seoul = Seoel
- Pyongyang = Bjongjang
- Taegukgi = Teegoekkie
- Taeguk = Teegoek
- Japchae = Tsjaaptsjee
- Bibimbap = Biebienbaab or biebienbaap
- Jangajji = Tsangkatsjie
- Tteokbokki =Tookpookie, tookbookie, tokbokie, or tokpokie
- Soju = Sootsjoe or sotsjoe
- Mandu = Maandoe or mandoe
- Pyeonsu = Bjoonsoe or bjonsoe
- Anju = Aantsjoe or antsjoe
- Misu = misoe
- Gimjang or kimjang = kiemtsjang
- Bingsu = Biengsoe or piengsoe
- Bunsik = Boenschiek
- Ulzzang or eoljjang = Oeltsjang
- Jangjorim = Tsjangtsjoriem
- Mukbang = moekbaang, moekpaang, moekpang, or moekbang
- Jang-geum = Tsjang-koem
- And many more...
- If the Dutch Republic's eponymous empire would take control of the whole Korean Peninsula, then the latter would become one of the biggest crown jewels of the Netherlands, especially when the latter would have already taken control of Indonesia, Philippines, and others - particularly due to their sizes in terms of population and land since they're all located in Asia.
- In addition, hypothesising the Dutch Empire to take control of the Korean Peninsula meant this would generate another case of the Great Trek, which was translated in Dutch as De Grote Trek - which also meant Korea would become a primary retirement home for numerous Dutch citizens as a result.
- And the aftermath was, the Dutch Empire would attempt such takeovers of numerous territories overseas:
- Belgium and Luxembourg, already completed
- Sicily and Sardinia, from Italy
- All of the Nordics and Baltics, Denmark, Sweden, Finland (since its language is similar to Dutch), Norway, Iceland, Greenland, Faroe Islands, Svalbard and Jan Mayen, Estonia (like Finland, its language is also similar to Dutch), Latvia, Lithuania, etc.
- Wales, Scotland (plus Orkney and Shetland Islands), Isle of Man, the Channel Islands, Ireland, Malta, Gibraltar, and Cyprus
- All of Central Asia, plus Mongolia, Tibet, Xinjiang, and Manchuria
- Burma (Boerma), Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, Hong Kong, Macau, Palau, Guam, Micronesia, Hawaii, Alaska, etc.
