[edit] "Jinsen" name

'called Jinsen by the Japanese colonists' why is that so imporant to mention about how Japanese colonists called that city? Wikipedia is not Japanese encyclopedia written in English -- Taku 22:43 Jan 6, 2003 (UTC)

I disagree with you Taku. The article is about a place. When a place is colonized, that becomes a significant part of the history of that place, therefore, what the colonists called the place becomes pertinent. --Qaz

I agree with Taku. Jinsen is irrelavant to this page. soax 20:09 Jan 14, 2003 (UTC)

[edit] 2nd

If Incheon really does have 5.45 mil, how come Busan (with 3.7) is the 2nd largest city in S Korea?

Short answer: It doesn't. I can't figure out where the "5.45 million" figure came from, but all sources I can find give a population of about 3 million less than that (whether it is now the third-largest city in South Korea is a more open question). I've replaced the previous number with one from the KNSO's online 2000 census figures. -- Visviva 14:06, 30 Dec 2004 (UTC)

[edit] The Movie

What about the movie called Incheon? Should this be mentioned here, and maybe on a separate page? Mathmo

[edit] Modern Incheon

I remember Inchon well. Having spent more than a year there (1953-1954) as a member of the US Army Signal Corps restoring communications destroyed by the conflict. The city I see via the internet today is one I would never have expected to arise from the rubble that I remember from a half century ago.

Question: When was the E added to the name Inchon? Incheon?

Hope to be around to visit when your new 200 story super skyscraper is complete.

It depends on which way you romanize the word. Romanization Kbarends 06:33, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

Yes, the Revised Romanization of Korean replaced the McCune-Reischauer romanization about the year 2000. The McCune-Reischauer system was adopted in 1937, so it is what you are probably used to. Davidinkorea 01:10, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
