In addition to Mike's answer,
You can also say just as '_는/(으)ㄴ지 아닌지'
And it would be more natural to switch the particles above. ;-)
Ex.
나는 그가 나쁜 사람인지 아닌지 몰라요.
I don't know whether he's a good guy or not.

Afaik, "whether or not" in Korean has close correlation with "know/don't know". For example, if somebody wants to assert another person a bad/good guy, s/he will say either, "I know that he's a bad guy" or "I don't know if/whether he's a good guy". Hence, "whether or not" is usually precedented by personal statement/assessment.
The pattern is like this:
V ~는/(으)ㄴ지 알다/모르다
Eg:
내가 그는 나쁜 사람인지 알아요 ( I know (whether/if/that) he's a bad guy)
내가 그는 나쁜 사람인지 몰라요 (I don't know whether/if/that he's a bad guy)
내가 그는 나쁜 사람인지 좋은 사람인지 몰라요 (I don't know whether he's a good guy or a bad guy)
