Keep in mind my friends that I am looking for the literal term "Hallelujah".

Ooops--just saw the note you added and re-read your question, so I'm editing my answer:
I think you might be asking whether the word as spelled "Hallelujah" appears in the KJV translation. The answer is no. The word as spelled "alleluia" appears in the Revelation 19.
However, the word hallelujah in the OT Psalms gets translated "Praise ye the Lord" in the KJV. So it's there in the Hebrew but not in the English.
I'll leave my original answer below, because the word is an interesting one and others might enjoy seeing some of the background on it.
Definition, Variant Spellings:
hallelujah
halleluia
alleluia
(exclamation)
1. Expressing praise to God.
noun hallelujahs, halleluias, alleluias
1. The exclamation of ‘hallelujah'.
2. A musical composition based on the word ‘Hallelujah'.
Etymology: 16c: from Hebrew hallelu praise ye + jah Jehova.
Also, from the Catholic Encyclopedia:
The liturgical mystic expression is found in the Book of Tobias, xiii, 22; then in the Psalter; for the first time at the head of Psalm civ according to the Vulgate and Septuagint arrangement, but at the end of the previous psalm according to the Hebrew text as we have it; after that at the beginning of psalms of praise, as a kind of inviting acclamation, or at the end, as a form of glory-giving ovation, or at the beginning and end, as for the last psalm of all; then in the New Testament, only in the relation of St. John's vision of Divine service in Heaven as the worship-word of Creation (Revelation 19).
The word can also mean:
Hallelujah, Festal (Psalm 135)
A hallelujah is a musical composition whose principal theme is found in the word hallelujah. This word appears in Psalm 135 only in the title and at the end. The psalm is a series of choruses and semichoruses in which praise is given to God.

Since you are Korean you need to read a very easy to understand English version that is like the way we speak such as the NIV (New International Version) or NLT (New Living Translation) or God's Word or The Message. Thee just means you as well as thou. After a time of studying the easier modern version, you can get a Bible that has two versions together, like the KJV and the NLT. Either that, or get a Korean and English version together if this would seem better for you.

Yes it is. Ps 146 and Rev 19: 1-6 are some places where it appears.
It is spelt the way you spelt it.

Why is the KJV so important? There are more accurate, more modern translations available. KJV is riddled with errors and inconsistencies.
To answer your question, yes it is.
