(Top-Korean King and Queen.)Actually, Korea was not known as Ko-

rea.It was known as Goryo,

but people guessed the name “Korea” comes from “Goryo”.

After Goryo, the name changed to Joseon. And it remained like that till

1910. after Joseon. Finally, Korea existed un-

der that name.

Korea was developing as such at about B.C 2333.

The name of Korea was Gojoseon at the be-ginning.

That name means old Joseon.This country was divided into 3 countries,

Goguryeo, Bekjae, Silla. Silla was getting stronger, so it

succeeded in unifying all those three countries.

After Silla’s epoch, the name changed to Ko-rea.
