Very nice guide.
However I think it's far better to romanize the '어' vowel sound as 'eo'. I notice that for many of the words you romanize it as 'u'. The problem with doing this is that an English speaker not familiar with 한글 will likely get a wrong impression of how the word sounds. For example if '건물' is written as 'gunmul' one might get the impression that the first syllable is pronounced the same way as the word 'gun' in English. Writing '건' as 'geon' gives an English speaker a far better idea of how the vowel sounds.
I know some Koreans will say using the 'u' is just 'how it's always been done' and they won't change but actually 'eo' is now officially used as part of the RR system adopted by the Korean government in 2000. All street signs and subway maps now use this system. It might feel painful to make the change over but it will be for the benefit of both non-Koreans and Koreans if a logical and standardized romanization system is used.
This guide on Wikipedia gives more info on how each 한글 character is romanized:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romanisation_of_Korean

Also note the vowel '으' is best romanized as 'eu'.

I didn't really romanize it, I just typed it according to how I would write if someone asked me to write the words in English. Don't really know the proper romanization codes either (before I read your link that is). I think the romanizations are kinda off but for standardization purpose, well.. okay it's necessary ㅡ.ㅡ

I don't know anything about Korean but I know a couple phrases that are missing from your list:

-Chunji storm is the term for those moments where storms seem to fill the screen (i.e. nal_ra vs nada on requiem). I was told what it means but I forget...something like "land and air storms."
-The two hatch hydra break is/was called ddang hydra.
-Bul kkot (forgive me if that's wrong) is the sync-style break on a zerg's expansion.
-Spirit is the thing pusan was famous for, when he launches an impossible amount of units right at the opponent, with little regard for micro or control.
-The term slips my mind, but there was some Korean word for "genius" which is nada's nickname.

You could add other popular nicknames too. Kingdom was the devil toss, yellow was the storm zerg, xellos was the perfect terran (though I'm not sure if that is the actual Korean nickname for him or just something fabricated by the foreign community), gorush surely had a nickname to go with his famous management style, etc.

Totally late, but thank you so much for this. There have been many times when I've been sitting there wondering what on Earth the commentators were saying.

Chiming in a little late here, but:

Da-Su 다수 - A large number
So-Su 소수 - A small number

This is usually said when the commentators are referring to the number of a particular unit, so it'll be followed by something like "Lurker" or "Dragoon".

Another thing the commentators often SHOUT is:

Ggae-Jib-Ni-Da! - 깨집니다 - literally means "it breaks", when referring to buildings

e.g. HATCHERY HATCHERY HATCHERY....... GGAE JIB NI DA!!!

Also wondering what "kitte-mone" means.

you probably mean "bonjin" when you wrote "punjin". that's the word for main base.
