I don't know. Did you try View->Character Encoding->Auto Detect->Korean 
?

Also maybe there is an issue with your document. Try to visit some 
Korean pages and see what happens. E.g. LG: http://www.lg.co.kr/korean/ 
which renders fine here, Tools->Page Info says Encoding = EUC-KR. Keep 
in mind that there are four different encodings for Korean. ff comes 
with its own font packages afaik, but I do not remember to have 
downloaded any extra fonts. And the daewoo fonts are not the ones used 
by ff.
