Are there any legends, myths, or folklore stories from Korea involving what English speakers call Fairies?
I am looking to see if there is a Hangul (Korean) word for Faery/Fairy that has been Romanized. I am writing a story involving Korean characters and it's related to the faery realm, but I don't want to resort to using Celtic faery names as that feels really wrong to me. Any help is appreciated!

This is similar to a fairy (in its deeds) but is more goblin than fairy.
Dokkaebi - spirits who keep clubs and enjoy mischievous tricks. Most are believed to possess horns and magical powers: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dokkaebi
Not Korean but it may be of interest:
In Malays, fairy/fairies are called 'pari-pari' (Malaysian) or 'peri' (Indonesian). They are often looked as motherly figure helpful creatures who will help those who have good heart.

many human beings now have confidence that the information do no longer help the religiously held assumptions of this kind of advent. There are far too many holes that propose evolution. enormously, once you employ logic and psychology with a deity at the same time with God. The Christian faith has itself developed; specifically the old to the recent testomony of the Bible. Archaeological information might in good shape lots of the biblical cities and cities yet no longer unavoidably the incredibly time lines and activities in it somewhat is history. specifically by potential of utilising or suggesting God or a deity. for example: a organic/cyclical adventure at the same time with a tsunami or flash flood etc. some human beings now look to assist that there became an intervention by potential of yet another stress at the same time with: Extraterrestrial in our evolution and giving the effect of a deity or the lacking hyperlink. technology needs to end the arguments enormously between conflicting religions that are in keeping with lots of the unique books or memories. many human beings refuse to settle for that their faith has been misrepresented. in some unspecified time interior the destiny the non secular domino's began to fall and a authentic revolution is obviously taking it somewhat is place. Evolution and Creationism could be one and a similar observing the way you look at it. For myself; Revelations is incredibly whilst the reality finally famous itself.
