No. Most foreign designers in Korea built their portfolios elsewhere. What matters is craft + ability to articulate decisions. A few interview rounds may include a take-home in English; some companies run a whiteboard exercise. Korean-language design assets are a plus for K-domestic-focused roles but not required for global product teams.
Korean product design has its own conventions (information density, multi-card layouts, more aggressive use of color and motion). Most foreign designers absorb these in 3-6 months. Companies hiring foreign designers usually want the Western perspective for global product surfaces — they're not asking you to design like a Korean designer; they're asking you to design products that work globally.
