[edit] hanja for peninsula

from google, korean language pages, -wikipedia:

  • 한반도 returns 8.29 million korean language results
  • 韓半島 returns 9,830 korean language results, many of them actually chinese or japanese language pages
  • 조선반도 returns 136,000 korean language results
  • 朝鮮半島 returns 708 korean language results, most of them actually chinese or japanese language pages

obviously, the chinese characters are not generally used by either north or south koreans. Appleby 18:52, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

The English name is the Japan Sea, it is not the East Sea.
