this only looks terrible because you've forced a specific height in rem. https://jsfiddle.net/vbd3fok5/ looks fine to me. there is some extra space, but I assume that if the font designer added extra space on top of the text, they did it on purpose. if you insist on ignoring that, https://jsfiddle.net/qpb0d45n/ makes the text "visually continuous", at least for a non-Korean reader like myself. I would speculate that a Korean user might look at this and ask why the site designer ignored their font's preference for space above the text.
