Description
Hi, I am trying to crawl Korean news papers.
Most news articles crawled and parsed well
but some articles such as below url, newspaper cannot parse well in Korean.
http://www.edaily.co.kr/news/newspath.asp?newsid=01610486605953456
After parsing the article, the result is as below the picture.
(Parsed title should be "금감원, 소비자단체와 금융현장서 민원 상담·구제")

As shown in the a.title, I think newspaper have an encoding problem.
What do you think of this problem?

Start by reproducing the reported URL and inspect how newspaper parses and decodes its title. Compare the result with the expected Korean title "금감원, 소비자단체와 금융현장서 민원 상담·구제"; done means this article's title is parsed correctly without breaking the other articles that already work.
