Are you in Korea? Get ahold of a copy of Hangul - the Korean version of a word processer... has all the Korean fonts you could wish for.

If you are meaning the ability to read/type in Korean then you need to either:
a) If you are NOT using windows SP - download IME for Korean. You can google it "IME Korean".
b) IF you ARE using windows XP then go into your control panel - DATE-TIME-LANGUAGE settings and "ADD OTHER LANGUAGES" to include east asian languages.

It takes a lot of digging and clicking, but you will find a lot of good fonts here:

Some overlap with this site, but at least you can preview the fonts before clicking:

Good Korean fonts are hard to find. There aren't as many innovative typographers working in Korean as there are working on the Roman alphabet.

Yes I am talking strictly about fonts. If I install Hangul Word it won't affect my english word processor right? And will the fonts automatically be available in other programs?

It won't affect anything, although I downloaded the Korean Language Pack for Office, installed it and all of my menus went haywire. Chinese or something. I uninstalled it and back to normal.

This has nothing to do with your situation though. The fonts in Hangul are True Type fonts, and will be made avaliable to Word, etc... as well.
