That's because you are not Korean.

I added some samples of Korean mapping service renderings of an area in Korea:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Key:junction#Named_junctions_in_Korea

As you can see, a small label is present on the junction at centre-right of 
the images.

Daum has it as "법원사거리" in a small white box.
Naver has it as two lines in a slightly different colour:
법원
사거리

Best wishes,
