Many non-native English speakers, including Koreans, often mispronounce the words woman and women.

The word woman is pronounced ‘wʊ-mən.
The word women is pronounced ‘wɪ-mɪn.
Here is a short video from Tarle Speech and Language that you can use to learn more about the pronunciation of these words.

BTW, in my opinion the best online dictionary for IPA spellings is Dictionary.com.
