I guess so.  Perhaps, your Korean font is taller than the
frame's default font.  What happens if you evalute this?
        (message _SOME_KOREAN_STRING_)

Anyway, I've just changed quail to use `message' for showing
the guidance in CVS HEAD.  So, if you set
resize-mini-windows to nil, the echo area won't be resized.
