What to know to to use Korean font on TTY console(not for GUI).

I just installed Arch Linux on my old machine. I do not want to use GUI environment. But I want to write and Read Koreans on TTY console. Now I have no idea what to read and study. Is there anyone can tell me what I need to know first? Is it possible or not? I have no clue now. Thank you.

Thank you. After little bit of study, Now I can see Koreans. I installed kmscon and ttf-dejevu. Since ttf-nanum is not available from AUR, I downloaded from internet and put into /usr/share/fonts. I ran fc-cache. On console, I can read Korean. But somehow, Koreans letters break inside apps such as nana, w3m and emacs. Is there anything I am missing?

# locale -a
C
POSIX
ko_KR.utf8

  In console, it shows 나눔명조. Inside of nano,  ^b^x  ^h^t  ^e.
