Is there a difference in Gyeonggi and Kyonggi?
|
| |
Only difference between the two terms is in the English pronunciation. The name of the province was spelled as Kyonggi in the past, but according to the Romanization, the spelling has been modified to Gyeonggi. The two different spelling are still used together but the correct Gyeonggi spelling will soon settle gradually.
