Yes it will, I'm currently working on a K24/k20 hybrid swap myself. Its just a lot of custom work and costs a ton of money.

A k24 would be a better choice as a K20 just doesnt make enough torque for our heavy Accords.

For example:
K24a2 longblock-$2000+
6spd transmission-$1200
Engine mounts and axles-$700
ECU+Hondata-$1500

You have to cut off one of your motor mounts and weld a new one on. Make a completely custom wiring harness.

Those are just some of the items you need and some of the issues. I will easily have over 10k into mine by the times its done.

Do you know if the K24A can also fit in a 98 Accord 2.3 Saloon?
Because im thinking to change the engine as well, but cat decied the H22A or K20/K24.

I dont believe there is currently a mount kit made to put a K series in a 6th gen accord. But anything can be done with the right amount of money and time. You would however be looking at thousands of dollars and lots of man hours.
I would just go with the H22.

In my opinion its not worth the money for a K swap unless you plan on building a pretty much full race car with 300+hp.

If wasaluuu is really in Beijing, it won't be the same car as what we (in USA) know as the 6th-gen.

Yes, i am really in Beijing, the car is a 98 4door Accord 2.3 Vtec Auto, so are we talking about the same one, but it looks the same?

Here's a USA Accord. Same? I've always thought that UK & Europe & Asia get a different car.
The USA Accord is larger, and is IS available some of those places called a Honda Inspire.
