Koreans can beat them on land maps.

Their lack of good late-game cavalry means they'll have trouble countering massed onagers. Problem is massed organ guns/hand cannoneers get absolutely DESTROYED by massed siege onagers, and bombard cannons is a irreliable soft counter against onagers -- the bombards' only real advantage is range, but firing at max range makes it much easier to dodge. By the time your bombards win, their siege onagers would have destroyed the rest of your army, leaving the bombards defenseless.

Portugese do have Feitora, but a good Korean player will have very low gold-unit losses due to how easy it is to cycle their beefy war wagons back to monks.
