Actually, I just realized that Thunderbird is doing the same thing, which would suggest that it's something in KDE. I think I've seriously misdirected you.
On further searching through the OS: Dolphin doesn't do this, it's English-only as expected ls -l and date return some Korean characters (tried sh as well as bash) The file-open dialogues in emacs24, firefox, acroread, gimp, have Korean characters in their dates. The file-open dialogues Chromium, Showfoto, LibreOffice, Amarok, K3b are English-only as expected.
