Seoul Changes Chinese Name I think most people are confused. Seoul is the name of the captial city and still is even after the change of the Hanja. So *nothing* has changed on the Korean side. They changed the the Korean (defunct) Hanja and that's absolutely fine. However it's odd that Korea is asking other countries to use the "correct" Hanja for the name when it's actually really out of their control. Other countries decide what is the most convenient for themselves to use, not the Koreans. And in Kanji countries, it isn't wrong at all to still refer to Seoul to the more convenient name "Han Cheng". |
