June 5438+October 2005 10, the Korean government announced that the Chinese translation of "_ _" was officially changed from "Seoul" to "Seoul", meaning "the capital of the first goodness". Reason: Before 2005, the capital of South Korea had two names, Korean proper name was "Seoul" and Chinese proper name was "Seoul". For the sake of standardization, the Korean government officially renamed Seoul as "Seoul" in 2005, because a city has two names, which is easy to cause misunderstanding. For example, there are Seoul National University and Seoul National University in Korea, and many times people will mistake Seoul National University for Seoul National University.
