There was a guy on here that broke his down and checked it on the plane as extra baggage, he had no problems doing that.

Yeah, I shipped over a Scott Nitrous SL22. US$5000 in Korea. Bought
it in USA online for US$2000. Shipping was about US$600 and duty
was about $400.

If your bike is used you may not pay duty at all.

If your bike is that beloved and important to you, then you'd be wanting to ship it back home as well, right? Well if you're spending $600 shipping it here and then $600 shipping it home, that's $1200... I'm sure you could find a really good bike for 1.4 million won here in Korea... Just seems like a lot of work to me but it's none of my business I'm just curious as to your reasoning for needing your specific bike here.

Shipping is going to kill you. $1000 is about right for shipping a bike from US to Korea. Shipping and handling, plus the duty they throw on it when it arrives.
