Regarding the possible gain from breaking this time:
Even with 8 praet away (and they would have to trust Spulla about the number), Rome has enough at home to prevent any major invasion and looking at production numbers, breaking the NAP will result for Korea at losing in a very short term all their mainland cities (capital+captured while breaking the NAP).
In short I would not break the NAP if I was Korea
(HRE, Ottoman or Rome on another hand, once spullla is crippled enough, having an opportunity strike on your closest neighbours could be more 'acceptable')
I completely disagree with this last point - all of HRE, Ottoman and Rome would be 'nap-stabbing' out of pure opportunism and would be tantamount to a landgrab - especially this early in the game. That is dishonourable in my eyes.
If Korea were in the position of HRE, with a solid mainland foundation of cities and budding economy, then I would not be advocating a NAP-stab as they would not be in the massively weak position they are now. I believe they will surely lose unless something drastic and brave happens. Hence I believe a NAP-stab is the best thing they can do, and not at all dishonourable.
