In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, gochujang, sesame oil, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and rice vinegar to create the marinade.
Place the pork chops in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish, then pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for maximum flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the pork chops from the marinade, allowing any excess marinade to drip off. Reserve the marinade for basting during grilling.
Grill the pork chops for 5-6 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 145Β°F (63Β°C). Baste the chops occasionally with the reserved marinade to enhance the flavor.
Once cooked, remove the pork chops from the grill and allow them to rest for 3-5 minutes to retain their juices.
Garnish the grilled pork chops with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
Serve hot with steamed rice and your choice of vegetables for a complete meal.
