Quantifying and Mitigating Korean Jamo-Level Typographical Vulnerabilities in Large Language Models
Korean introduces an additional typographical perturbation level not captured by ordinary character-level edit models: because syllable blocks are internally composed of sub-character units called jamo, keyboard-level errors can occur within a syllable, either producing a valid but semantically altered character or exposing raw jamo on the surface. Both outcomes disrupt sub-word tokenization and are not reliably corrected by existing grammatical error correction pipelines, leaving LLMs directly exposed to corrupted inputs. To quantify this vulnerability, we apply five jamo-level perturbation types to the KMMLU benchmark and evaluate four language models, finding that accuracy declines mon...
