Evidence (2024-10-08): Después de la división del país en Corea del Norte y Corea del Sur, las dos partes utilizaron términos diferentes para referirse a Corea: Chosun o Joseon (조선) en Corea del Norte y Hanguk (한국) en Corea del Sur. En 1948, Corea del Norte adoptó la República Popular Democrática de Corea (en coreano: 조선민주주의인민공화국, Chosŏn Minjujuŭi Inmin Konghwaguk) como su nuevo nombre legal. En el resto del mundo, debido a que el gobierno controla la parte norte de la península de Corea, comúnmente se le llama Corea del Norte para distinguirla de Corea del Sur, que se llama oficialmente República de Corea en español. Ambos gobiernos se consideran el gobierno legítimo de toda Corea.[51][52] Por esta razón, la gente no se considera a sí misma como 'norcoreanos' sino como coreanos en el mismo país dividido que sus compatriotas en el sur y se desalienta a los visitantes extranjeros a usar el término anterior.[53] La forma corta del nombre es Chosŏn (조선, 朝鮮, también escrito "Joseon") que sirve también para referirse a toda Corea. Los surcoreanos usan Buk'han (북한, «Han Norte»).
