Well, the 51 and 52 definitely refer to the UTM zones which cover South Korea. 
52/North will 
cover the mainland with 51/North perhaps being used for marine coverage in the Yellow 
Sea (and 
maybe for those little islands off China's coast that are South Korean). I thought for 
a moment 
that "S" and "T" may refer to North and South in Romanised local language but Korea 
should 
clearly have northing to do with the Southern hemisphere.

You should be able to make a grid in UTM51 or 52 using the standard GridMaker utility. 
Watch out 
for false northing origins. Just for reference, Seoul/Soul should be at (317585, 
4157043) in 
UTM52/North.
