If you check at https://code.launchpad.net/~danilo/ubuntu-keyboard/serbian-layout/+merge/229876 and specifically the end of the page, you can see in green boxes the parts that you need to add for Korean. However, for the case of Korean, I think that there are a few technicalities. Specifically, for Chinese, the keyboard layout is found in the "pinyin" subdirectory, https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~phablet-team/ubuntu-keyboard/trunk/files/head:/plugins/pinyin/ How do you normally type Korean on a phone? Do you type in a romanised layout which is then converted into Korean characters? Like in http://www.lexilogos.com/keyboard/korean.htm ? If so, you would need to start with the existing pinyin files and adapt for Korean.
