How to set your Google Chrome to English - forever!

Many of you had/have problems (Chrome popping up in Korean, no matter what you try)
Here is how to set your Google Chrome to English (once and for all!)

Scroll in the list, and find the one you just added (look for Google English!)

Happy surfing again!
