The business hours in Koreatown are just about the same as anywhere else in the city. Most business open at 8:00 or 8:00 in the morning.
Koreatown is just a part of the city of Los Angeles. It's known as the largest or possibly the second largest (after Korean Autonomous Regions in northeastern China) ethnic Korean enclave in the world outside of the Korean Peninsula.
There are many Korean-owned restaurants, stores, supermarkets, other businesses, etc. in Koreatown and they all have different hours of operation. So it's best to find out (by calling, looking up online, etc.) about specific locations within Koreatown before going. :)

Koreatown is just a section of Los Angeles. It's like asking what time your neighborhood opens.
If you meant the Koreatown Plaza, it opens at 10:00, (11:00 on Sunday).
