Where is Kieñseñ *here*? BoArthur

Seoul. It's the name (Gyeongseong in *here*'s Romanization) that was used during Japanese colonization *here*, a modification of the Joseon Dynasty name, Hanseñ/Hanseong Nik 19:48, 15 November 2005 (PST)
Internationally, would it be known as Kieñseñ or Seul? (Upon this hinges part of my NaNoWriMo efforts.) BoArthur
Kieñseñ. Seul would be unknown outside of Corea, and even in Corea, it would have the same sense as saying "the Capital" instead of "Washington DC" or "London" or whatever. Seul/Seoul is simply Corean for "Capital" Nik 20:34, 15 November 2005 (PST)
