Joseon (조선, also Chosŏn) is a name for Korea, as used in the following cases:
- The first Korean kingdom Gojoseon was then known as Joseon. Go, meaning "Ancient," was later added for disambiguation. It is sometimes divided into Dangun Joseon, Gija Joseon (Jīzǐ Cháoxiǎn), and Wiman Joseon periods.
- Korea was named Joseon in the Korean language during the Joseon Dynasty
- Korea under Japanese rule was named Joseon (or more accurately, the Japanese version Chōsen).
- North Korea today refers to Korea as a whole, or sometimes just North Korea, as Chosŏn in the Korean language.
See Names of Korea for more details on the changing use of the name.
It is also used in the names of two prominent newspapers: the South Korean Chosun Ilbo and the pro-North Choson Sinbo of Japan.
