Talk:Kisaeng

message: Any support for moving this to kisaeng? -- Visviva 03:24, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: All right, I'll do it.  I don't have any real problems with moving it back to gisaeng, but I contend that "kisaeng", like "hangul" and "kimchi", has become an established English spelling. -- Visviva 21:11, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: A quick search in the Merriam-Webster Online dictionary shows that there is an entry for kisaeng in the Merriam-WebsterUnabridged.com .  And so this move must be supported.--Endroit 18:03, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Move to kisaeng 

message: There are a number of Korean dramas and movies that feature gisaeng, so there is definitely a call for a section listing those. Right now there is only a reference to Chwihwaseon. 64.172.210.200 23:03, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  In media 

message: The title of this article is wrong. The current transliteration of Korean should follow the revised romanization, which will be Gisaeng, not Kisaeng. Please reconsider about changing the title of this article, all formats should follow the current version. Thank you. Amphitere 17:32, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Problem 

message: On the bottom of the page, under notes, it says:
1. ^  Specifically, the first syllable means "entertainer" and the second means "life" or sometimes "person." See Wiktionary entries for 妓 (gi) and 生 (saeng). The term ginyeo (기녀/妓女) is likewise composed of the Sino-Korean elements gi for entertainer and nyeo for woman. 
This is incorrect.  妓 is a Chinese character meaning prostitute, not entertainer.  The Wiktionary link given also gives the same definition.  There is no alternative meaning under Hanja in the page either.  Also, 妓女 in Wiktionary links to the Mandarin Chinese word for '(female) prostitute'.125.238.23.58 (talk) 11:16, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

message: See related discussion: Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Korea#Kisaeng_and_prostitution. Key question is - should this word be mentioned here? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 14:06, 30 October 2016 (UTC)
