It is, but assumed he was trying to romanize the sayings.

I use a printed korean/english keyboard on my desktop, easier to get and cheaper than the stickers.

If you want to type things in Korean, there is a way to do it correctly most of the time (without actually knowing what the word means).

1) Get stickers!
2) Stick'em to the keys! Korean characters can be broken down into consonants and vowels just like English.
3) Type them as it would "sound like" in English.

For example:
Typing Ma Jae Yoon (sAviOr) in Korean:
Name: Ma Jae Yoon
Sounds like: Mah Jeh Yoon (added the h's to make it clear... I hope)
Break down into consonants and vowels: M Ah J Eh Y Oo N

Corresponding characters in Korean:
M = ㅁ
Ah = ㅏ
J = ㅈ
Eh = ㅔ or ㅐ
Y = n/a (Y affects the next vowel)
Oo = ㅜ (-> due to affect of Y sound, convert to Y- vowels) -> ㅠ
N = ㄴ

Now, most OS should come with a language pack that allows you to type things correctly as long as you type correctly (... get it?). This means that the computer will stack those things together correctly for you.

마재윤! You just typed "his" name in "his" language!

don't forget consonants and vowels are on opposite sides of the keyboard so within a syllable you will usually alternate hands, exceptions being double vowel ones such as 'hwan' 환 (which should be very easy to remember as a starcraft fan)

remembering that should help you narrow down your search for certain letters until you get more used to the layout

for clarity: you cant just remember which english letter = which hangul letter, mash them in and call it good. it doesnt work like that

oh man :D you should learn some basics about writing hangul. like the fact that you are putting syllables together, not just letters alone.

I'd recommend you to NOT put stickers on your keys, and not buy a Hangul keyboard. I learned to type in Korean the same way I learned to type in Dvorak, by not looking at the keys. I changed my desktop wallpaper to a map of the keys, so if I had to look, I still was feeling for the keys with my fingers, as opposed to looking for them with my eyes. These are the backgrounds for Hangul. One has the home row colored, so you have a quick reference to where your hands should always be.

Geometrically, the characters can also give you help as to where they are in relation to each other. Your primary two keys on your right hand fall on the characters that graphically point to the left and the right: ㅓ on the leftmost finger and ㅏ to the right. Just to the left of them are the characters that appear to point up and down, with ㅗ falling above ㅜ. The "y" vowels have similar alignments with each other. Any tricks you can find like these to avoid you having to look at the keyboard, and instead have your fingers allow the character to be stored in your muscle memory will help you learn the layout much more quickly, and teach you proper form in the process. Since I personally have a better memory of spoken language, I associated the positions of the keys with the sounds each character produces. After typing out enough Korean from images into google translate, I quickly became pretty decent at typing in Korean.

EDIT: There's also at least one error in the image, with the placement of the round brackets { and } on the top row. The original image was for the Dvorak layout, and I forgot to change those to what they are on QWERTY/Hangul: underscore and plus.
