From: Jiho Lee <elmitash@gmail.com>
Update the South Korean (ko_KR) locale to reflect official standards:
- LC_ADDRESS: Follow the Large-to-Small hierarchy (Country, Postcode,
City, Road, Recipient) as per Korea Post guidelines.
(https://www.koreapost.go.kr/kpost/subIndex/135.do?pSiteIdx=125)
- LC_NAME: Follow the standard Korean order (Surname + Given Name)
without Western-style salutations or tabs.
* localedata/locales/ko_KR (LC_ADDRESS): Update postal_fmt.
* localedata/locales/ko_KR (LC_NAME): Update name_fmt to "%f%g".

Hi Arjun,
In this v3, I have added the missing %c (Country) to the beginning of
postal_fmt to align with the Large-to-Small hierarchy and the commit
message description.
Changes in v3:
- Added %c to postal_fmt in LC_ADDRESS.
- Placed these notes below the "---" line for better git tooling
compatibility as requested.
Best regards,
Jiho Lee
