Hmm, well if it's an extension to EUC-KR, it seems like GNU iconv (at
least the version in pkgsrc) isn't handling it correctly:

% echo hello | iconv -f euc-kr -t utf-8 | hexdump -C
00000000  68 65 6c 6c 6f 0a                                 |hello.|
00000006
% echo hello | iconv -f ks_c_5601-1987 -t utf-8 | hexdump -C
iconv: (stdin): cannot convert
00000000  e7 8c a5 e5 a3 b9                                 |......|

% echo hello | iconv -f us-ascii -t euc-kr
hello
% echo hello | iconv -f us-ascii -t ks_c_5601-1987
iconv: (stdin): cannot convert

If you change the character set to euc-kr (Control-E in Mutt), it
should display fine. Mozilla displays it too (it uses its own
character set conversion routines, instead of iconv).
