It's a stretch to put Korean into the Uralic-Altaic family. Finnish and Turkish, for example, are agglutinative, while Korean is not.

Still, Korean owes more of it's foundation to it's Uralic-Altaic roots than to other influences. Then there's Japanese. It has some elements, but not enough to fully reclassify it.
