Absolutely this. I make a slightly different version.
Halve a few cucumbers, chop into 1/2" pieces, I then crush line under a plate or bowl, not to pulp but just to break them up some. Salt and set aside for a few minutes to draw some moisture out. Drain, then add a tbsp or so of gochujang, a clove or so of garlic, tsp or so sesame oil, splash ponzu, 1 tsp sugar, and chili flakes to taste.
Honestly I've even just parsed it down to gochujang and sesame oil and it's great.
Excellent side dish to so many things.
