I'm running a 100% bilingual Japanese-English system and it wouldn't be too 
hard to install other languages. I don't know about Korean console - the 
fonts above look like MS fonts. For X support, check out app-i18n/nabi. Once 
you've installed that it should be the same as putting the following before 
you start your wm session:
export LC_CTYPE="ja_JP"         # what ever is appropriate for korean
/usr/X11R6/bin/kinput2 -canna & # run the input engine in background

There's also a XINPUT (I think) environment variable that should be set. I 
don't know why I don't have it set or why it's working without it set, but 
have a look into that too. Let me know if you can't find anything about it.
