If there is one, it will be in Korean. There are hardly that many English books on Korea in general, with most being travel books and Korean War books.

it's really not that hard to understand, koreans or east asians are generally collectivist confucians who are prone to forming cults, when the japanese left, the americans took over, but they didn't apply the same treatment to the koreans as they did to japan which is dismantling the war machine companies that had contributed to building japan's world war 2 machinery, koreans were starting from scratch so nothing needed dismantling, and this is where hyundai and samsung began, and because of the cult like culture coupled with a dictatorship, they grew to massive proportions, it's the same thing in north korea, china does it with the ccp controlling everything, japan also does it although differently, in the 60s, they formed cartels to corner the semiconductor industry, competing national companies came together to share secrets on how to compete with american companies, they are doing it now with rapidus, their new solution to tsmc and asml, the reason why they are so big today also has to do with the plaza accord and japan's lost decade in the 90s, korean companies came in to fill the vacuum that had been left by japan

You could try the article titled: the Origine of the Korean Chaebols and their Roots in the Korean War. You're actually better off reading journal articles for this, I think.
