Red chili pepper is optional although it adds a great spicy kick and beautiful red color to the dish. You can use green chili pepper instead for a spicy kick. Also for red color you can use silgochu (red chili threads).
Shrimp Fish sauce (sae woo jeot) can be replaced with plain salt if you don't like fishy taste.
Dried kelp can be replaced with 3 anchovies. Use an anchovy mesh to remove them easily after boiling or you can strain the broth.
