I know of Yongary (1967) and the reboot, 'Reptile' (1999), and I seem to recall a King Kong ripoff called 'Konga.' What other giant monster movies have been made in Korea?

Gwoemul (2006)
"Anybody who doesn't wanna hang, step out and get shot!"
I see IMDB lists that one under the title 'The Host.' Was it released in the U.S.?
- HOW kin I be so brainless, when I is so smart?
Yes. I've seen it several times. Can also be found on Netflix.

I'm not aware of Konga having any ties to Korea, it's set in Britain. But it was released on DVD with Yongary.
There's a semi-lost movie called Wangmagwi.
Found another one: 'Bulgasari'

Pulgasari.....about a giant snail looking monster, right?
shareDemikingu is actually pretty good-----but the thing is,it's not actually a real kaiju flick,but it's still decent.
shareAnd The Host (a 2006 Korean kaiju film) did get a US release, which is how I saw it. One of the better monster movies I've seen over the past decade---I liked the determined crazy ragtag family hellbent on saving their little girl from the monster's clutches. I heard that there's either going to be,or already has been an American remake---not sure about that, though.
shareNah...Pulgasari is closer to a Daimajin kind of thing.
shareDunno; haven't actually SEEN this one. Going by the IMDB 'poster' image.
- Crazy. All crazy but I'm.
I'll have to check it out sometime later, can't seem to find a way to stream this one at present. As for the description I mentioned above, I was mistaken as that was actually for a Japanese Kaiju flick called Demikingu (2009).
