Hello Kiwon,

Firstly i can't give you good answer to solve your problem, actually i'm
newbie at Emacs. Personally i think this is somewhat local issue what
Korean folks can recognize. There is professional Emacs guy in Korea,
too. May i introduce the guy to you? Well i think he can solve your
problem. Please check out
[http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs-ko/hangul.el]. Then contact the
author. Good job, Kiwon!  

Sincerely,
