I worked in Korea for 1 year and paid Korean income tax. Do I have to pay American taxes for this as well? How do I declare this when filing taxes?

When you fill out your 1040, you'll enter zero on pretty much everything except one or two lines where you'll put the information from the 2555 (EZ) which is Foreign Earned Income. If you stay under 70-80,000 US, you'll not need to pay any US taxes.
