an encoding issue while generating beamer slides in rmarkdown

I am testing to generate Beamer presentations using Rmarkdown in Rstudio. Everything works fine, but an error below appears and fail to generate Beamer slides when a few Korean words are added into the code. Generating html(ioslides, slidy) works fine with the Korean words, but only converting to Beamer presentation encounters the error.
I searched some posts and tested suggested solutions, but none of them worked; Neither saving the file with UTF-8 encoding nor adding the code below works. 

latex_engine: xelatex

My OS is Windows 10 which is set to Korean. Any comments would be appreciated.

latex_engine is an argument of beamer_presentation (see Section 3.3.7.1 of the R Markdown book).

The encoding option in your example is not meaningful to either Pandoc ro rmarkdown.
