I was testing out something else and noticed that the Korean rosetta site has some headings where words appear cut off. For example, "community" (커뮤니티를) below is a single word, but it's split in half. I assume this is the same issue as #123 in Japanese, where the text-wrap: balance is causing issue.

Is this a problem for Korean readers like it was in Japanese, or is it common/expected that words will wrap? cc @StevenDufresne

Yes, this is a problem for Korean readers. Those copies should loook like:

워드프레스 커뮤니티를
만나보세요

and

워드프레스를
만나보세요

Can we apply word-break: keep-all to the headers? Open a live demo to see how it would look.
