Just a small update for those interested. Here is the Korean text of the poem:
이 몸이 죽어가서 무엇이 될꼬 하니,
봉래산 제일봉에 낙락장송 되었다가
백설이 만건곤할때 독야청청하리라.
The rough translation I've gotten so far for this is:
When I die, what will I become?
I will become a pine tree, tall and exuberant, atop Mount Bongrae.
I will become a man of integrity, even though heaven and earth are covered with snow.
No luck yet on the Japanese section.
