This episode from Season 4 references Korea briefly: http://www.southparkstudios.com/full-episodes/s04e17-a-very-crappy-christmas

The kids are making their own cartoon about Christmas and at 16:05 they ship their cutouts off to a Korean animation sweatshop to get animated and filmed.


Was anyone able to read the sign on the wall?
All I could get was "일합 . . ."


...시다! ("Let's work!") If I remember correctly. I'm not going to go back and watch it again, but you can pause it, you know.

I just came across another allusion to Korea on South Park:
In season 11 episode 9, entitled "More Crap," Randy Marsh is trying to set the record for--well, the title says it all.
It is mentioned that cabbage was part of his diet, and the word "kimchi" is used.
