I had a similar situation with Japanese in-laws. Fortunately, I'm
using GNOME, which has localisation for Japanese. I had to tweak their
~/.dmrc and add/alter:

    Language=ja_JP.UTF-8

Once they got past the English gdm login, they were presented with a
Japanese lanaguage desktop.

The ports which I had to install were:

    www/firefox35
    www/firefox35-i18n
    mail/thunderbird
    mail/thunderbird-i18n
    japanese/scim-anthy

I'm guessing that you'll have to do something similar for Korean,
adding to ~/.dmrc:

    Language=ko-KR.UTF-8

and installing korean/scim-hangul; as well as firefox and thunderbird
and their internationalisation support.

Cheers.
