you are right. It is also true for ko_KR, but the
order in /usr/share/locale/locale.alias
was hiding it

$  locale -a | sort | uniq -d
ja_JP
ko_KR

$  locale -av |grep ko_KR
locale: ko_KR           archive: /cygdrive/c/Windows/syswow64/kernel32.dll
locale: ko_KR.utf8      archive: /cygdrive/c/Windows/syswow64/kernel32.dll
locale: ko_KR           archive: /usr/share/locale/locale.alias
locale: ko_KR@cjknarrow archive: /cygdrive/c/Windows/syswow64/kernel32.dll
locale: ko_KR.utf8@cjknarrow archive: 
/cygdrive/c/Windows/syswow64/kernel32.dll
