In messaging app select SETTING. Scroll down to where it says Message Center. Change the number for the one listed for your carrier (you may have to look that up)

Not sure about the korean characters. Is the rest of the language in english? (menus etc..)

I have the same problem. Using a KT Galaxy S2 in Hong Kong. If you compose a new SMS, you will get the error message, and the top will have a "From" drop down from the top. if you enter your phone number, it will send. This wont' happen if you try to reply to a message you received though.
 
I have solved it for my M250K.

Confirm your phone doesn't recognize "my phone number"

Settings -> About Phone -> Status -> My phone number

likely, it says "unknown". I dont think there is a way to change it in your phone so you need to put your SIM in another phone (such as iphone 3G/3GS, or older Sony Ericssons) and edit it there. For iphone 3GS, you can do this:

Goto Settings> Phone> Press My Number> Enter YOUR number> Press Save> Press Home

This will save to the SIM. When you put the SIM back in, you should be able to use it.
 
You can try go to message, if you are get your last conversation screen, press back button to see all conversation list, then press menu /setting /input mode, and select automatic.
