YES. It was only in 1986 that South Korea became a liberal democracy. Prior to this, from 1948-1986, the South Korean government was an autocracy. While South Korea was officially a democracy, there was no rule of law and the "Presidents" wielded levels of power similar to any other dictator.
Prior to 1948, South Korea was under US Military occupation.
Prior to 1945, South Korea was under Japanese colonial occupation.
Prior to 1905, South Korea was part of a succession of Korean monarchies.

Why is South Korea called the Republic of Korea?
There are two parts of this question. The first is why the term "Republic" is involved in the title and the second is why the word "South" is not in the title."Republic" is part of the name since South Korea has a republican form of government, with a legislature and presidency. During the Cold War, it was an authoritarian republic, but since 1987, it has been a true democracy."South" is a laymen's way of distinguishing the two governments in Korea, because the democratic government controls the territory to the south of the communist government. However, the South Korean government claims that it is the sole legitimate government in Korea and reserves the right to control the entire peninsula, not just the southern half. (The North Korean government has the same view, that it reserves the right to control the whole peninsula.) As a result, the official name of the country reflects that the current government's ideal is to rule the entire peninsula.
