Nobody think/want that will come true. dda, Some people have called it ??흹??쨈 while some others ?????쨈 since long ago. (Much longer than the 'last few years' you said.) Though I don't think it's right when they should be called internationally, calling name of the sea according to the direction is just a custom of Korea. Don't take it too seriously. ?????쨈??? was also called ??흹??쨈??? in the old days.

It is a joke ,isn`t it? But many Chinese would be very angry soon after they saw this. We also like to make fun,for life need this ,but I`m sure ,you will all agree with me ,police is not good material. It is an interesting picture to all other people except Chinese.

I always heard West Sea, not Yellow Sea, from all Korean sources. Of course, I wasn't reading hanja in the vernacular papers.

But I get your point now... 'They called it West Sea in 1993...' We'll have to define 'they'. I remember translating a Korean magazine article about ???챈?쨌 in the late 1990s. It would be interesting to see a study made on the DNS-like propagation of the "West Sea" usage. Gonna be tough on the ?쨀???쨈???s to explain West Sea when Korea reunifies. Or are they gonna change ???챈?쨌????to ??쩔챈?쨌????to justify West Sea? No, Wedge, youre’re right, I dunno where you come from. But I get your point now…

They called it West Sea in 1993 and I'll defer to anyone in Korea previous to that to identify when they changed it from Yellow Sea. Speaking of seas, Japan calls the Sea of Japan something like North Coast Sea and the body to the south the opposite (my Japanese dictionary is packed up so someone else correct this if I'm wrong). It's all relative to the individual country. Only in Korea do they try to impose their local usage on others. Inferiority complexes are a bitch, aren't they?
