I know a university friend who gave up Japanese for Korean. Now after three years of studying Korean, he's a near-native speaker. Oh, and he's German-Canadian.

But here are the problems: Korean is not really an optimal language for job applicant and you need to advance in Chinese characters (and I mean traditional, not simplified) if you want a better Korean proficiency.
