Sorry for the late response again.

I tested mozilla started with that locale, but still can't
reproduce the problem.   The version of my mozilla is:

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.0) Gecko/20020623 
Debian/1.0.0-0.woody.1

What is yours?  I suspect that your mozilla doesn't use
UTF8_STRING somehow.

I want you to test these two methods (each independently).

(1) Force Emacs to request only UTF8_STRING on receiving
    selection.

(setq x-select-request-type 'UTF8_STRING)

(2) Force compound-text-with-extensions to translate latin
characters in korean-ksc5601 to mule-unicode-0100-24ff.

(coding-system-put
 'compound-text-with-extensions
 'translation-table-for-decode
 (make-translation-table
  (let ((row #x21) (row-to #x2F)
        col char unicode map)
    (while (<= row row-to)
      (setq col #x21)
      (while (<= col #x7E)
        (setq char (make-char 'korean-ksc5601 row col)
              unicode (encode-char char 'ucs))
        (if (and unicode (>= unicode #x80))
            (setq map (cons (cons char (decode-char 'ucs unicode)) map)))
        (setq col (1+ col)))
      (setq row (1+ row)))
    map)))
