I've confirmed this bug.

---

The problem is in the helpers.slugify (internet.url => internet.domainName => internet.domainWord => helpers.slugify) function which is stripping korean characters from the final result:

faker/src/modules/helpers/index.ts

Lines 218 to 224 in 69173a3

	slugify(string: string = ''): string {
	return string
	.normalize('NFKD') //for example è decomposes to as e + ̀
	.replaceAll(/[\u0300-\u036F]/g, '') // removes combining marks
	.replaceAll(' ', '-') // replaces spaces with hyphens
	.replaceAll(/[^\w.-]+/g, ''); // removes all non-word characters except for dots and hyphens
	}
