9 years later but should be useful for others:
The Garmin units sold in Europe and North America DO NOT support Oriental maps.
You must buy a DIFFERENT hand set for Japan and a DIFFERENT handset for Korea. It may be possible to fit Korean on the Japanese model or Japanese on the Korean model but it would not be a trivial exercise. You certainly CANNOT do the same with European models as the internal memory on the Garmin is too small to support the double-byte character set.
So, for Korea, you should just download Naver Maps on your smartphone if you want to go to the mountains. If you are not interested in the mountains either Daum or Naver will do.
The Open street Maps may suffice for a holiday but they are really so far behind the pace of construction in South Korea that they are otherwise not worth considering.
