This is a trivial but daunting question.

My Windows language is set to English. BUT the name of my desktop folder appears in Korean which causes multiple issues. (i.e. I cannot navigate thru the files in the terminal)

Here's the daunting part. The Desktop fold appears as English in some places, but when I view a specific folder's path (which is located in the Desktop), it still appears as Korean.

How do I fix this?

In Vista and later, all special folder names are always in English on the file-system and Desktop.ini files make the names localized in Explorer so this can't be your issue.

Looking at your screenshot we can see that the folder is inside OneDrive. This leads me to believe that you have turned on the Important PC Folders OneDrive backup feature for your Desktop folder.

If you still need this backup feature then you need to try to rename the folder. This page recommends that you rename special OneDrive folders on the web-based OneDrive page. If you only want to rename it on one of your machines then you might have to edit the user shell folders registry key.
