Korean name for Korea?

What is Korea called in the Korean language? The Korean page uses "한국" in Hangul, and "韓國" in Hanja, and also "조선" in Hangul and "朝鮮" in Hanja. I think the second one is "Choson" or something like that, the name in Japanese for the first one is "Kankoku" and the second one "Chōsen" (which I why I think it's Choson). moocowsrule^{(Talk to Moo)} 22:33, 29 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Wiktionary.com says the name is "Hanguk" and the other one is "Joseon". moocowsrule^{(Talk to Moo)} 22:37, 29 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I added the names for Korea before the split, and for both the two names after :) - RyukWar

Koreans generally refer to Korea as Hangook (한국). Joseon is the name of a former dynasty.--119.149.173.3 (talk) 11:46, 24 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
