You need to do a few things to make this work.
First, set your SPSS locale to Korean:
SET LOCALE=KOREAN.
Second, choose a Korean font (Gulim is usually appropriate) AND set the script field to Korean.
You may need to change the font in several places to get all this to work.
A few things still will not work unless you change your Windows User Locale to Korean, which you can do via the Regional Options in the Control Panel. If you have already done this, SPSS should pick up a Korean locale automatically (unless you have previously overridden the locale via SET LOCALE).
Note that you can also change the output language for SPSS to Korean via Edit/Options or SET OLANG.

Subject: [SPSSX-L] reading korean fonts in spss
Greetings,
I am working with a Korean longitudinal data survey. The data come to me
with Korean labels, which shows up as garbage on my Win XP-Pro system. I'd
like them to show up correctly in my SPSS version 14.0, so that I can put
them into something like Google Translate and make English labels. I have
Korean fonts installed on my XP computer and Word documents display Korean
correctly, but SPSS does not. Has anyone tried sucessfully to get Asian
fonts to display in English SPSS?
thanks,
