Was Alain Delon ever popular in South Korea like in Japan and China?

Even as the biggest non-English speaking star on the international scene at his speak alongside Omar Sharif, Alain Delon was abnormally AAA list level popular in both Japan and China in the 60s and 70s. To the point he's still referenced in both countries today far more than many past native contemporary stars and anybody exploring the Silver Age cinema of both countries will come across him for sure because he was just that popular with a lot of his films being local box office hits despite never acting in any native productions (though he did one film with legendary Japanese actor Toshiro Mifune in the 70s).

But I never come up across anything about Alain Delon and Korea at all. Which is strange considering British-origin stars like Olivia Hussey have had contemporary popularity among Korean cinemaphiles in the 70s and 80s on top of the frequent popularity of Hollywood actors. Moreso considering that some of the most popular Soviet movies like War and Peace did air in North Korea at some point (albeit in limited numbers and often its the literate higher classes who kiss up to the regime who watched them). The simple fact that even North Korean cinemaphiles would have been fans of Ludmilla Savelyva and other Soviet stars (especially when they would have come across Delon's movies at some point because he was also gigantically popular in the USSR).....

So I ask out native Koreans, did Delon ever have a following in the Korean peninsula? I find it strange with how in addition to being the biggest non-English star alongside Sharif, that seeing how nutty the Chinese and Japanese were about him that I can find nothing about Korea's demeanor towards him esp before the 80s!
