Dates of Birth/Death

  • Include in parenthesis after name
    • Ex) Song Si-yeol (1607-1689)
  • Use a hyphen, not a "~" mark
  • Include only years, not months or days
  • If one year is unknown, use a "?" in place of the unknown year.
    • Ex) Choe Chi-won (857-?)
  • If both the birth and death year are unknown, do not include anything after the name.
  • Only include the years of birth/death for key figures, or if it is helpful for the reader to give context

Pen Names

  • If it ends in "공," exclude from the pen name.
    • Ex)
  • "Pen name" should be written as two words (not penname X)

Dates and Lengths of Time

  • Calculate age using international age if possible, even if different from the Korean age
  • When counting years, such as funeral lengths, use international counting standards
  • If an event (battle, person's birth/death) occurs at the end of the lunar year, check to see if the day falls into the following solar calendar year and use the solar calendar date/year if possible.
