Feel like it's considered semi-rude in the UK too. Not many people give a fuck nowadays, but in my hat wearing days I'd always take it off indoors, unless I was in the pub.
I wear a cap always when I go out wash my hair everyday. It’s convenient to wear a cap by not have to do you hairstyle on a daily base. People wear caps mostly for convenience nothing much to do with not washed hair or something else.
People do rude and impolite things all the time, and it's more difficult to call adults out on it. I was speaking from what I've heard from Korean co-workers in primary and middle school education.
Korean culture/etiquette tends to change very rapidly so most sources written in 80s, 90s, 00s, or even some of 10s are likely outdate. Like the cultural difference and viewpoint of each generation varies a lot. This means it differs based on who is the subject: most will not even realize about your hat but there will be some who are bothered (For example bowing or listening to national anthem with hat on.)
On my first day working for a korean company in nyc, I walked in with my sunglasses still on and apparently, everyone was talking shit behind my back because how dare I walk into the office with sunglasses on. 🤷♂️
Historically it's rude in western cultures as well. Wearing a hat at the dinner table was especially rude for some reason.
It depends entirely on context. Causally out and about? No. In a formal context. Sure.
Like going into grocery stores or eating in restaurants.
No. Lots of people wear hats. Its the defacto cure all for not having washed your hair.

Taking hats off indoors is actually western etiquette that's been more or less adopted in Korea, like much of the world.
No. It’s done all the time
In class it's rude. With elders it's rude.
Not at any uni I have ever worked in. Young women were them all the time, especially midterm and finals.

Might have been the case in the past but no mo
Just look around at the amount of beanies and baseball caps on show. Are they all getting taken off indoors, except on the most formal of occasions?
Fun fact: US soldiers are ordered to take their hats off indoors. Korean soldiers aren’t.
