Hangul is the result of taking the romanization "Han'gŭl" and stripping it of diacritics. From my reading, until 2000, this was the official way of romanizing the name.
However, in 2000 the South Korean government released the Revised Romanization of Korean. This new standard produces romanization of "Hangeul" or "han-geul".
I have searched and found many people arguing that we should stop using Hangul. The arguments against the argument feel week to me. The strongest counter-argument is that Hangul is in most English dictionaries. With the crate using mostly English-derived names, perhaps these types should use the English names.
However, I am a white guy in the United States who is just trying to pick the "correct" name. Based on what I read, I tried to pick what seemed like the modern romanization, even though it is absolutely not the most common usage currently.
I would love for help in answering the question whether I am being forward-thinking in this decision, or whether I'm just simply wrong.
