 village voice > film > The President's Last Bang by J. Hoberman
Park's family evidently sued to remove introductory newsreel footage of ongoing political protests from the film.
Thus, the president (Song Jaeho) is introduced babbling about his regimen of seal testicles—to clinch the point, there's a staged political rally in which the point is emphatically made that Park is the nation.
But once Park settles in for a banquet at the KCIA safe house, the scorecard, as well as the evening of geriatric karaoke with two not especially compliant hostesses, is soaked in gore.

But in the south, it was only after the Korean war when Christianity took root among the officers (and the dictators) of the military that it gained influence and became a way to get ahead in society.
Park Chunghee, the seminal Korean dictator, was a Christian and a graduate of the Japanese military academy and a soldier in Manchuria.
Park Chung Hee wasn't exactly stridently anti-Japanese, true, but I think it's fair to characterize the officer corps you cite as being fairly nationalistic.

 Scary folk at The Marmot’s Hole
For all of Park’s autocratic style and the many lives passed under his repressive form, South Korea would not be where it is today without his centralized economic plan.
Of course, discussion of Park becomes murky because of our cosmopolitan views towards human rights, but one must keep in mind that in terms of Korea’s third wave entrance as a “democracy” in east Asia, it would have been unfathomable without a staunch hand as Park.
The only foreign folks who Park Chung-Hee used to love (and hate at the same time) were the Japanese, their military and culture he had admired during his time as a devoted soldier, later Lieutenant (can“t remember his Japanese name)of the Japanese Imperial Army, chasing fellow Korean independence fighters in Manchuria.

 Cornell Political Forum
Park Chunghee played a role similar to that of Kemal Ataturk [in Turkey].
By jump-starting the Korean economy, and by introducing special rules and special land and tax breaks to the steel industry, the ship industry and eventually the car industry, he downplayed democracy (and was authoritarian) but he did not stifle it.
As I said before, Park Chunghee impeded it for awhile, but he did not destroy it.

 filmcritic.com Movie Review: The President's Last Bang
A military man who engineered the country’s postwar economic ascendancy, by 1979 Park is a full-fledged dictator who has rewritten the constitution to give himself limitless power, which he uses to crush any opposition, and also to feed every fleeting, decadant, Kim Il Jong-esque fancy.
Usually occupied with torturing civilians and covering up Park’s peccadilloes, the KCIA – the all-purpose FBI/CIA hybrid that functions as Park’s personal Gestapo – has to make the arrangements at one of their safehouses, which is where the plotters come in.
The President’s Last Bang makes no attempt to pretend at the humanity of Park or his compatriots here, and indeed it even has a fair amount of contempt for the antihero Kim, quite late to his explosion of conscience, with a few too many stains on his soul to wipe clean with one desperate act.
