It's certainly possible to make a single byte character
set(with 186=94*2 graphic characters) a la ISO-8859-x for
Korean Hangul. As a matter of fact, such a character set __was__
used in mid-1980's on Korean Unix system(V7 Unix) and perhaps on
other platforms. Besides, South Korea and North Korea agreed to
devise a new ISO 2002 compliant single byte character set for Korean
script(Hangul/Chosun-gul/Jeong-eum). (I don't know what it's for though
since we now have Unicode.)

That's only for complete modern syllables. In addition to that,
U+1100 block has to be used for the full support of Korean Hangul.
