Korean keyboard installed, how revert to English with CapsLock key?

iPad Pro 12.9" 5th gen, iOS 14.6.

Having installed the Korean keyboard, how can I revert the on-screen keyboard layout to the original "English (UK)" layout with CapsLock key?

Using the globe key and selecting "English (UK)" does not work: it merely switches the on-screen Korean keyboard into its western format with roman letters on the keys, but leaving the CapsLock key position configured to switch back to the Hangul entry method.

How can I change back to the "English (UK)" on-screen keyboard layout with the CapsLock key working as a true CapsLock?

iPad Pro, iPadOS 14

Here is a screen-shot of the on-screen keyboard (in the Pages app) immediately after selecting "English (UK)" with the globe key. Note that the key normally used for CapsLock is not available for the CapsLock function.

No, I see no such setting in Settings > General > Keyboard.

I see a setting "Enable Caps Lock", but changing that has no effect on this problem of trying to revert to the English keyboard layout.

Could you post a screen shot of this?

Yes, pressing the key which occupies the CapsLock position changes the keyboard layout to the Korean Hangul input method.

The appearance of the CapsLock key on the English (US) keyboard is identical to that seen with English (UK) keyboard.

I assume you can still type uppercase letters via the shift key, right?

You might want to try a forced restart of your iPad:

(Unfortunately I cannot duplicate your problem myself, because my iPad is a mini and does not have the full screen keyboard with a caps lock key).

I guess I will have to live with this. It looks very much as if this is designed into the iOS Hangul input method.

It is certainly a bug of some sort that the English keyboard would show Hangul (or any other non-Latin script) on the Caps Lock key. I assume if you remove Korean from the keyboard list, then the English keyboard reverts to normal?
