Note on Korean names and words
With introduction of a spelling reform in South Korea in 2000, new forms for some very common words transformed Pyongyang into Pyeongyang, Kumgang to Geumgang, and Kaesong to Gaesong. Some sources have moved to the new spelling, but the North Korean press and the international media generally have stayed with the old spelling. This book uses the forms most familiar to the English-speaking reader except for the words in quotations. Therefore, mostly the old version for the name of places is used. Most of the Korean terms are used following the North Korean style, for instance, Juche instead of Chuche or Rodong instead of Nodong.
