Had the Empire of Japan won in WW2, could it have successfully Japanized the Koreans over the long-term?

Sure, but it is the differences that matter when we are talking about whether the Japanese could "japanofy" them, yeah? They hate each other for a reason, and I would contend it has to do with the yin-yang nature of their temperaments.
Sometimes people hate each other the most when they are the most similar. That and the war.

I dunno man, even the Koreans who have been in Japan generations maintain the temperamental differences I mentioned and have problems with the Japanese. I'm not saying they aren't similar, but "Japanify" is a tall order for the Japanese when it comes to Korea
