The current charset registry can be found at:
http://www.isi.edu/in-notes/iana/assignments/character-sets
As you can see, there is a charset called "UTF-7", defined by RFC 2152,
which mentions Unicode 2.0. A quick scan of 2152 did not reveal whether
UTF-7 always refers to the most recent version of Unicode (whereas UTF-8
is defined that way).
So if the message is not based on the Unicode 1.1 encoding (where Korean
characters were in a different block), I'd say you can just use "UTF-7".
However, the recipient(s) may not be using software that can interpret
such messages.
