Evidence

The DPRK has had what might be described as its ‘corporate familism’ with a self-described ‘great leader’ in the Confucian manner; the ROK, directed in the 1960s and 1970s by a man who had been an officer in the Japanese army, has had its ‘New Spirit’ movement. — Diego Gambetta, Trust - Making and Breaking Cooperative…, 1635
