i'm not sure i understand. you're mentioning language-pack-ko but chromium doesn't use that.
chromium-browser-l10n is what contains all the chromium translations (except en-US which is in the main deb).

$ dpkg -c chromium-browser-l10n_7.0.517.41~r62167-0ubuntu1_all.deb | grep -E 'ja|ko'
-rw-r--r-- root/root 100272 2010-10-14 03:00 ./usr/lib/chromium-browser/locales/ko.pak
-rw-r--r-- root/root 101800 2010-10-14 03:00 ./usr/lib/chromium-browser/locales/ja.pak

and it's about the UI, and has nothing to do with web pages contents, which is either an encoding or a font issue.
Please clarify.
