Heck I could see maybe a useful situation where the Koreans and Japanese may find an working agreement about shipping, oil and refining of oil as required.
I just looked it up and found this list of
Japanese Oil Refineries when compared to just the 4 major refineries in ROK. So there could be a brisk trade of shipping and repair facilities between the two nations for what oil that the Japanese trade for and ship into the region.
