I fully agree. There's no way to convert MPL to PPL/CPL unless the OP starts from the scratch because MPL does not have enough PIC time and PIC X-country time to be eligible for PPL and CPL. That's gonna be an awful lot of money to begin with.

FAA doesn't recognize MPL either. It just does not exist in FAR Part 61. I have been thinking of any alternative method in Korea but I cannot think of anything.

Let this be a warning to those doing MPL program. Many years ago, a lot of guys on pprune mentioned that MPL guys will be stuck in limbo should there be an economic downturn, especially for those who do not have 1500 hrs to apply for ATPL. Forking out north of $150K with a useless license is not a position anyone wants to be in.
