How do I get Korean (Hangul) characters to typeset in LaTeX ?

Question

I've been unable to find a concise answer anywhere else on the web. Since its only a few words, albeit crucial ones, that are in Korean I don't want to have to muck around with HLaTex or deviate from pdfLaTeX that I'm using at the moment.

You can use the CJK package. A little example (taken from CJKutf8.tex):

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{CJKutf8}
\usepackage[english]{babel}

\newenvironment{Korean}{%
  \CJKfamily{mj}}{}

\begin{document}

\begin{CJK}{UTF8}{}

\begin{Korean}
