@Seong-ho Cho: I fear that we haven't been clear enough about the
meaning of "default".

The default font packages for Korean are those packages which are
installed automatically when you

1. install Ubuntu and select Korean as the language, or

2. install the Korean language afterwards from Settings.

The goal is to provide a good font, decently configured, so an
unexperienced user shouldn't need to bother about it. Up to 17.10 those
packages have been:

fonts-nanum
fonts-nanum-coding
fonts-unfonts-core

In 18.04 they will (probably) be replaced by:

fonts-noto-cjk
fonts-noto-cjk-extra

Please note that there is no plan to delete Korean font packages from
the Ubuntu archive. In 18.04 power users will have the option to
manually install one or more of the previous default font packages and
change the configuration to their liking.

Hopefully that explanation addresses your concerns.

Bug description:
  In Ubuntu 16.04 Noto Sans CJK is the default font for rendering
  Chinese. After having struggled with a few issues, I believe that we
  finally achieved the desired improvement of the rendering experience.

  So now I ask: Is there an interest from Japanese and Korean users to
  consider a switch to Noto Sans? (The fonts are already installed for
  all users on Ubuntu 16.04.)
